Using x and y delay lines, had not seen that one before. Thanks

There are fun things you can do with the delay-line imager, like crosscheck timings to untangle multiple-particle pileups and such. You could probably make a 2D delay line with optical fibers instead of conductors. Much less loss. -- John Larkin Highland Technology, Inc lunatic fringe electronics

Much less loss.In 1973 or there about when I worked in the TV studio, one of the engineers came to me with a an enlarged microfilm of a patent for a video recorder and asked me if I could make any sense of it. It was given to him by the local electronics shop. Video recording was my field there. The system had a name, cannot remember, will let you know if it comes back to me. That patent used one vertical oriented delay line that put charge on a vinyl tape that moved passed it, that way recording the charge pattern (image). I could not say it was wrong, but told him it was in my view not very likely that charge patterns would stay intact on a rolled up vinyl tape for any length of time. That idea never made it to market AFAIK.

That was Dutch and translated means something like 'one way raster diode'. Googling gives zero hits. Maybe the tape was coated to prevent the charge leaking, was not very clear or complete.>That patent used one vertical oriented delay line that put charge on a vinyl tape >that moved passed it, that way recording the charge pattern (image). >I could not say it was wrong, but told him it was in my view not very likely >that charge patterns would stay intact on a rolled up vinyl tape for any length of time. >That idea never made it to market AFAIK. >
