1. A method for loading electron tubes in a package containing m tubes wherein m is at least 4, said method including (a) providing a base platform having m nests therein for receiving said m tubes in a radial array about a center with all of the bases of said tubes facing inwardly towards said center, each of said nests for holding less than half the height of said tubes, (b) positioning said base platform with an empty one of said nests in a prescribed position, (c) loading an electron tube into said one nest, (d) rotating said base platform about said center to position another empty one of said nests in said prescribed position, (e) loading another electron tube into said another one of said nests, (f) repeating steps (d) and (e) until all of said nests are filled, (g) providing a cover platform having m recesses therein substantially complementary to said m nests in said base platform, and (h) positioning said cover platform over said loaded tubes with less than half the height of each tube within one of said recesses, said cover platform being spaced from said base platform by said loaded tubes. 2. The method defined in claim 1 wherein said electron tubes are cathode-ray tubes of the type having a funnel-shaped portion with the narrow end thereof towards said base. 3. The method defined in claim 2 wherein the value of m is an integer in the range of 4 to 8. 4. The method defined in claim 1 including wrapping plastic sheet material around and overlapping substantial portions of the sides of both of said base platform and said cover platform. 5. A method for packing cathode-ray tubes in packages containing m tubes, wherein m is an integer in the range of 4 through 8, said tubes being of the type comprising a funnel having a wide end and a narrow end, said method including the steps of (a) providing a base platform having m nests for receiving said tubes in a radial array about a center with all of said wide ends facing outwardly and all of said narrow ends facing inwardly towards said center, and each nest having a capacity for holding less than half the volume of a tube to be loaded therein, (b) positioning said platform with an empty one of said nests in a prescribed position, (c) loading a tube into said one nest, (d) rotating said platform about said center to position another nest in said prescribed position, (e) loading another tube in said another nest, (f) repeating steps (d) and (e) until all of said nests are filled, (g) providing a cover platform having recesses therein that are substantially identical to, except that they are the mirror image of, said nests in said base platform, and (h) seating said cover platform on said m tubes in said base platform with less than half the volume of each tube within one of said recesses, said cover platform being spaced from said base platform by said loaded tubes. 6. The method defined in claim 5 wherein, at steps (d) and (f), said another nest is adjacent the nest loaded just prior thereto. 7. The method defined in claim 5 wherein m is an odd integer, and, at steps (d) and (f), said another nest is not adjacent the nest loaded just prior thereto. 8. The method defined in claim 5 wherein m is 6. 9. The method defined in claim 5 wherein the centerlines of said tubes, when extended inwardly, intersect at said center of said platform. 10. The method defined in claim 5 including the step of stretch wrapping plastic sheet material around and overlapping a substantial portion of the sides of both said base platform and said cover platform, thereby producing a packed package of tubes. 11. The method defined in claim 5 including the steps of repeating steps (a) through (h) to produce another package of tubes, and stacking one of said packages on the other of said packages.
