Oregon Status University constructed a general purpose computer (Nebula) in the
mid 60s that used Corning glass delay lines both to construct a 4k x 34 bit
main memory with an auxillary 2k Content Addressable Memory with 32 bits plus

I don't know about that one, but a delay line is a key component of a PAL

Wasn't some of this glass delay line memory used in early raster-scanned
computer video displays?

Obviously it isn't -- it's conventional core RAM. Interestingly enough, it

That's where I first learned about SAW devices, in Broadcasting.
Used to maintain Ikegami 79D ENG field cameras, Ike used them
As H line delays to construct a mask signal of sorts to generate
A Horizontal edge signal, which was applied to the video signal
To add a "Detail" enhancement for sharpenin
