In the 1950's and early 60's the test card/test pattern was on BBC TV for very long periods of time each day which assisted matters.
If you go to the World radio history site, find Practical Television magazine(later just Television) a very widely read magazine in the TV repair community. Search "pattern generator" in the 50's and 60's issues, lots of designs and circuits were around.
