Well, it could have been the BBC's L E Weaver, but a quick look in his 1971 book 'Television Video Transmission Measurements' (the well-known Marconi Instruments book), doesn't mention PLUGE at all. Perhaps I've missed it, but I can't see it. His famous 'weaver box' is described at length, so if he had created PLUGE, you would have thought that would be there too?

PLUGE also doesn't seen to be mentioned in the companion Marconi Instruments book 'Television Measuring Equipment'.

Interesting question!

Best regards,

PS I meant ABC for Mr Cox in Post #2, not ATV - sorry.
