There are two trigger/sweep units in a 453, thereby enabling delayed sweep mode.

There are two delayed sweep modes: "B runs after A" and "B triggerable after A".

A and B sweep triggering uses [[tunnel diodes]], with a trigger preamplifier preceding  
The A and the B sweep triggering both use [[tunnel diodes]],  
the actual trigger circuit. The use of Tunnel (Esaki) diodes gave the 453 superior, easy-to-use triggering,

The use of tunnel (Esaki) diodes gave the 453 triggering that is stable and
useful to twice the oscilloscope's bandwidth.
