The Bush TV22. Recall the subject of too much integration in the frame sync circuit was discovered be Dr Hugo Holden? The simple matter of replacing a 100K resistor in the frame sync separator circuit with one of 10K improved interlace considerably.

DFWB.
Best idea David is to ask Peter Scott as he came up with the circuit.
The odd thing is the V310 gives perfect interlace with 4 pulses or 10 and even the pulse length can be different, remove them and the set goes haywire and you also get tearing on line! This is the only set I have that is uncomfortable with "no" broad pulses.
Have to say Peters circuit is rock steady and once set has no drift whatsoever.

I've added the photo of the setup here for you David if you haven't seen it already
