  Large-scale integration parts are easily damaged by the transient currents that result from e.h.t. flashover in a cathode-ray tube. It is therefore necessary during design to provide adequate circuit protection and, further, to ensure by testing that the protection is sufficient to remove the likelihood that flashover-induced failures will happen during normal operation.The purpose of this work was to evolve a test method that could achieve universal acceptance, so that it could be applied to both monochrome and colour units containing hard- or soft-flash c.r.t.s.The method chosen uses Q-switched laser pulses to initiate flashover discharges to the focus electrode and then employs the focus-to-final-anode gap as a surrogate spark gap to transfer flashover energy to the remaining c.r.t. connections. The measurements taken during manufacturing plant life-testing have been used to confirm the number of discharges required in a test to verify design.

  This paper describes a joint BBC/BT pilot scheme involving the transmission of broadcast quality sound and vision signals and other services over a 140 Mbit/s digital bearer between London and Birmingham. Terminal equipment, designed and constructed by the BBC, is described which assembles one PAL television signal, including teletext and associated stereo signal, with 12–5 Mbit/s available for further high quality audio channels, telephony, data and error correction. The means of transmission involves the use of an optical fibre system, a radio relay channel and a coaxial line system. Initial evaluative studies are briefly outlined.
