In the case of the vintage Black Box digital wire hadn't been 
invented. Properly schooled engineers knew how to avoid tilt by 
making absolutely sure the wire ran perfectly horizontal and only 
made perfect right and left turns. Without knowing it, they had 
wiring configurations that looked and performed like digital. Any 
slant in the wire caused tilt. Unfortunately, it was difficult to 
wind a transformer in this way. It also required that the wire 
reverse direction. A waveform never reverses horizontal (forward) 
direction. Time is always moving forward. Ringing was eliminated by 
removing any telephones in the room. Earlier incarnations of Dick 
Cheney tried to eliminate overshoot without success.

Thanks to our world class research labs at companies like Monster 
Cable these analog weaknesses were eliminated and made radio stations 
that sound like square waves possible.
