I also read of one where you had two guns, one just before the phospher 
screen and one behind it, pointing up, with a mag field that curved the beam 
to hit the sides of the screen.  Apparently a yellow/purple combination can 
give you almost as good color as tri-color beams.  If you wanted a very 
large flat CRT, that's how you could do it.

I don't think the idea ever developed into a commercial product, probably 
*because* LCDs got there first.
