The CRT is also quite a rare looking thing, a rectangular faceplate with a P7 phosphor...I can't think of the intended use for these except for SSTV. Modern radars have 'electronic persistence' where the afterglow is generated in RAM and displayed on a standard PC flat screen monitor.

Dr. Ralph Taggart, the author of "The Image Communication Handbook", is a member here but he hasn't posted in a long time, maybe years.
Good around book on the subject some good stuff floating around on the net ...i knew it was Ralph but didn't know about this book i liked all of it but the stuff on facsimile is great which tends to be over looked .
I like this rotating drum scanner much neater version than mine a while back ...
The electromagnetic spectrum has no theoretical limit at either end. If all the mass/energy in the Universe is considered a 'limit', then that would be the only real theoretical limit to the maximum frequency attainable.
