The Navy made a similar report on its Grumman F9F Panther...
...delicate ignition system which a few flying chunks of steel can knock out of commission. It has fewer oil lines; it can get along, in fact, with very little lubrication.

The FCC saw a way out through the adoption of a tri-color picture tube which would do away with the wheel, all limitations on picture size, and make CBS as fully electronic as any other system. RCA had demonstrated such a tube late in the hearings, but the FCC reported that it was deficient in registration...
