Test Card G
Test Card G was a television test card broadcast occasionally by the BBC. It was the first electronically generated test card to be broadcast, and was a variant of the Philips PM5544 test pattern.
Another Test Card G, unrelated, was developed by Pye as a variant on Test Card C. It was used in other countries that use 625-line PAL, but probably not in Britain.

Famous quotes containing the words test and/or card:
“Preoccupation with money is the great test of small natures, but only a small test of great ones.”
—Sébastien-Roch Nicolas De Chamfort (1741–1794)
“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)
