Abstract From the Canadian patent

The control unit for a display system is partitioned into first and second interconnected control units so as to permit respective separate ground terminals to be utilized. The separate ground terminals allow stable grounding for sensitive circuits in each of the control units without the formation of a continuous closed ground, loop which would be susceptible to disturbances due to ground currents induced from the magnetic field of the deflection unit of the display system. A theshold responsive gate is coupled between the separate ground terminals to inhibit excessively large and potentially damaging voltages due to picture tube discharges from being developed between the ground terminals.
