That's very interesting, even though NICAM is not an FM system. Presumably a much larger level of 'vision-on-sound' would be acceptable for a NICAM carrier than for an FM one.
Anyway, we're discussing the early history here, are we not? Things like NICAM, and the complex integrated demodulator systems that you describe, would have had the 1930s pioneers reeling in disbelief.... they had to make it all work using a couple of glowing bottles...
