Up until about ten years ago I still had access to my grandfathers workshop. He was an electrician until he would down his business in the early 80's but both floors of the old barn used fixtures salvaged from wherever he got them during his heyday in the 50's so EVERYTHING used this old style and they were all of the 4' variety with starters. Most of the lights in the house however were rapid start but I know my grandmother used another older 4' lamp with two starters for her indoor garden lamp.
Now mind you, all of those ballasts would of contained PCB's but that's another discussion.
