La imagen de la cabeza de un indio americano
Explanation:
Este tipo de osciladores generaba la imagen de la cabeza de un indio pielroja, con su tocado de plumas, lo que ayuda a hacer el ajuste de la imagen de los televisores. Recuerdan el patrón de franjas de diferentes colores de la televisión en color? Era una imagen que se usaba antes que ésta.
