OU test signals
#1

Hopefully this is in the right bit. Back in the 80s, before the early morning Open university programmes on BBC2, and occasionally BBC1, there would be a black screen, with tone, and an "OU" lettering in either the top left or top right corner. In the example below, it's in both top corners!

I know there's some technical reason for there being a separate OU test signal, but can anyone elaborate on why?
