Because of the slow repetition rate, the phosphor used was an early implementation
of the p7 phosphor so that the targets will still glow between the sweeps and not cause
flickering.
Another unique feature would be a response to the drifting problem in early electronics.
The scope electronics would use a crystal calibrator that puts tiny pips or spikes at
known intervals (10 miles). The operator would use a knob, or control, to stretch or
