message: About the undefined "sine wave" test tones in the article, my recollection is that (here in the U.S.) there were two standard "sine wave" audio test tones that commonly accompanying our test patterns.   The tones alternated while the pattern was transmitted.   One tone was 440 cps (440 Hertz), A above middle C in the musical scale.   I might be wrong, but I believe the alternate tone was 660 cps (660 Hertz), a perfect fifth above "C".  In the U.S., radio and television station broadcast engineers (technicians licensed by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission) used the two relatively low tones to set and record (log) television transmitters' peak audio modulation level, as required by F.C.C.'s broadcast rules and regulations.

message: The drone tug used by SpaceX Falcon 9 reusable rocket boosters for landing, showed a quirky test card during today's (2020-05-30) manned mission, when the rocket booster itself blocked the video feed just before landing. The tug itself is named "Of Course I Still Love You", after a sentient spacecraft from Iain M. Banks novels. The card itself belongs to NASA so is public domain. Possibly worthy of inclusion?
