The CED signal put the color subcarrier down at a lower frequency than NTSC, but still mixed with the luminance. It would have caused a terrible coarse crawling dot pattern in the luminance, and terrible cross color in the chrominance, but all that was removed by comb filtering. You could occasionally see the effects of the comb filter on structures like bridges, where vertical wires were visible but diagonal wires would disappear.
