I didn't
think the NTSC system used a delay line at the receiver, but I
must admit I've never repaired a US TV set.
Yes they did/do but is was not ultrasonic. The common ones were basically
the same as LONG (4.5us?) transmission lines.
Is that a luminance deleay line, to compensate for the different
bandwidths of the luminance and chromanance channels? PAL sets have those
as well,
The delay line I was sgggesting for use as a computer memory device is a
glass block wioth untrasonic transducers on it. It's got a delay period
of almost one complete line-time, and is used to store one of the
chromanace signals as part of the PAL decoding process.
