The Tektronix Type V is a video plug-in for 500-series scopes. It never went into full production.
The design was started in late 1959. The plan was to have a plug-in that could functionally replace the 524. Larry Biggs was the project leader. Ron Olson did the dual-trace vertical. Phil Crosby did the sync, D.C. restorer, and line selector. See https://vintagetek.org/television-products/ for further information.
The Type V project was aborted because it was deemed too complicated, too expensive, and without sufficient demand. However, Ron Olson ended up using much of the dual-trace vertical design in the 1A1.
