By the way, that broad sort of peaking that the inventor was proposing was adopted in a refined form for home VCRs, to make the pictures look sharper although they had poor high frequency detail. In multi-generation VHS or beta copies, this gets way overdone, which you can see on on old bootleg copies of Star Wars and other old home-taped stuff that is posted on Youtube.
We have one guy here who is crazy about these old analog failings - each to his own taste, I guess.
