Blanking voltages, while preventing the electron beam from impinging on the fluorescent screen during retrace periods, do not cause the movement of the beam from the right-to the left-hand side of the screen, or from the bottom to the top. For this, another set of pulses, superimposed over the blanking signals, control the oscillators at the receiver and these, in turn, control the position of the beam. The pulses are called synchronizing pulses. 4, record 1, English, - synchronizing%20pulse
