Vintage Electronics Technology 1970: The CATHODE RAY OSCILLOSCOPE (CRT) -- principles and applications are discussed in this excerpt from a partially restored Britannica film. It explains vacuum tube CRT basics and how they are used in multiple applications. Known as "CRT" or "CSO". Oscilloscopes were also used in conjunction with television & radio troubleshooting and in many early computers (including UNIVAC I and II) to monitor portions of the electronic circuitry.

One of the oscilloscopes you will see in this film is the Tektronix Type 561A, made in the US by Tektronix Inc. around 1969. Tektronix Inc., an American company founded in 1946 by C. Howard Vollum and Melvin J. Murdock, produced a variety of test equipment and for many years Tektronix oscilloscopes were considered the best available being famous for their accuracy and reliability. Also shown is an HP 180A oscilloscope, which first appeared around 1966. Uploaded for historical review and comment regarding 1970's technical educational environments.
