CATHODE RAY TUBE AMUSEMENT DEVICE 1947 UPDATE
CATHODE RAY TUBE AMUSEMENT DEVICE 1947 SERIES

It's a little hazy what the minimum definition of 'electronic' is in regards to the pinball games, but while the source calls the CRTAD the first electronic game patent, I'm hesitant to therefore declare it as such, rather than the more limited 'first electronic game with an electronic display'.

There were electric pinball games in the 30s the CRTAD's claim to fame is only that it had an electronic display instead of just physical interactions.'The cathode ray tube amusement device is the earliest known interactive electronic game to use an electronic display' - Is this a little redundant? I believe the CRT amusement device is the earliest electronic game period, which automatically makes it the first to use an electronic display.Dropped, the infobox doesn't handle single dates right, only time periods.'Patented 1947–1948' - I realize this is attempting to convey in shorthand that the patent was filed in 1947 and issued in 1948, but the term 'patented' refers only to when the patent was actually issued, so this use of the term is incorrect and misleading.I'm going to hold off on moving the article itself until the review is finished, though, to avoid complications with this subpage moving. Even if we don't use the hyphen nowadays (and many of the sources don't), the original patent had one and I think we should call it what it was actually called, not how we would spell it today. Okay, I've been thinking about it for a couple days, and I've adjusted all the text to have the hyphen.I don't know that its worth sweating a hyphen, but should the original styling appear somewhere in the article? I don't know that our policies really speak to this, so I don't have a strong opinion either way.

It looks like most sources today drop the hyphen, though some keep it. Cathode ray tube used to be a hyphenate, so the original patent calls it the cathode-ray tube amusement device.
