How about a thread how the sawtooth sweep waveform is generated..?

In the same vein as Miniman82's thread on chroma processing/demodulation, it'd be cool to have a discussion on -
how the Horizontal and Vertical sawtooth waveforms are actually generated and appear across the yoke windings.

The sawtooth waveform is one of the 'givens' that's pretty much taken for granted, without considering just how sweep circuits generate it.

It's easy to visualize how a neon bulb (or gas-discharge tube) relaxation oscillator creates a sawtooth (like for H sweep in very old 'scopes). But it's a bit more esoteric in TV sets.

Just a thought to toss out there, inspired by Miniman82's excellent interactive.
