1940'S: A WFIL-TV TEST PATTERN!

I'LL NEVER FIGURE THIS ONE OUT! BOB BALLANTINE SENT THIS VERY FAMILIAR TEST PATTERN FROM WFIL-TV AS IT APPEARED DURING THEIR OFF THE AIR HOURS. DUE TO THE EXTREME CLARITY OF THE IMAGE, I WOULD ASSUME THAT IT CAME FROM A RECENT PUBLICATION. THANKS, BOB! I REMEMBER IN THE EARLY YEARS OF COAXIAL CABLE TELEVISION, TURNING ON MY 10" ADMIRAL TV AND DX-IN THE TV CHANNELS. I RECALL RECEIVING THE TEST PATTERN OF WDEL-TV IN WILMINGTON, DELAWARE, AND WLAN-TV IN LANCASTER PA. WHAT A THRILL!
