The law suit RCA vs. Zenith; 1953 stolen technology

[John Folsom]

The CBS 205 is a stunning performer with its 19VP22 CRT. Ironically, though, the IF/Video/Chroma processing elements were direct copies of the CT100 design, undoubtedly licensed from RCA. This, along with the superior 19VP22 accounts for the excellent performance of the set. And you got to give CBS high marks for their cabinet styling. Very stylish, no? CBS did use a different tuner, and designed their own horizontal and vertical sweep and convergence components, except for the yoke, which RCA supplied.
