A typical high-tech radar display was often done by: * analog voltage vs. time data delivered from radar receiver to display; * the CRTs deflection yoke mechanically rotated in sync with the radar dish via Selsyns & servos; * map overlays, if any, were either transparencies applied to the CRT face, or electronic ones were a lucite mask over another CRT, complete with rotating yoke in sync with the main display, and a phototube that picked up the "map" outline on the lucite, and summed the "map" voltage in with the radar analog data; * text markings were not done by computer (until later) but with special CRTs called "charactrons" or typotrons, driven with shift-register memory. (The equiv. of one line of text would be a whole rack of tube gear). Aint not data here.
