I am a R. O. F. and was at PR&E at that time. It was a
new
sales person (a.k.a. "order taker") who said that.
Internally
it went over like a lead balloon. But once published the
cat
was out of the bag, so to speak.
I think the poor misguided soul was trying to emphasize the
magnificent square-wave response that the machine had.
This was due in part to the special (large) heads used and
in part to the electronics. I don't have the schematic at
hand
but as I remember there was a delay equalizer involved, I
think it was in the record path.
