It used a rubidium frequency standard and an audio line to have NYC slowly “steer” the remote sync gen. to be in-phase. While doing hours of OTA digitization of ’68 election coverage and RFK assassination material, it became clear that CBS had this system woking very well.

Our monochrome sync gen had a 31.5 input for this purpose, so we would be in time with everyone else. During pre-feed there were also some tweaks to this, maybe for H-phasing. Our outgoing feed was telco microwave (thanks to Michigan Bell).
