List of BBC Test Cards - Test Card E

Test Card E

Test Card E (shown on left) was a television test card designed in 1964 and made to accommodate the 625-line system on BBC2, as opposed to the 405-line system of Test Card D. However, it only lasted one day on television, and was soon replaced by a modified version of Test Card C (shown on right). This lasted until 1967 when the colour Test Card F was introduced.

Famous quotes containing the words test and/or card:

    A decent provision for the poor is the true test of civilization.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    What is the disease which manifests itself in an inability to leave a party—any party at all—until it is all over and the lights are being put out?... I suppose that part of this mania for staying is due to a fear that, if I go, something good will happen and I’ll miss it. Somebody might do card tricks, or shoot somebody else.
    Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
