The NTSC submitted its petition after this testing to the FCC in July 1953. PT (Prototype) is a set with a metal-cone CRT, or with screw socket mountings, or with no engraved stamping on the chassis, or which would have been made in very small quantities, or has characteristics/circuit additions that would indicate it is an experimental/prototype set All other sets were either sold to the public, or have characteristics that made it clear that the manufacturer had developed them to the point where they could be sold.
