I dunno if the Dragon uses the 4016 PLL chip as a discriminator, but that
used to be a common way to do that sort of thing.  The data sheet for the
4016 explains it all.

And yes, the whole notion of PLL discriminator circuits came out of the
WWII
radar effort.  Some of Norbert Weiner's math went into them, but lots of
other guys helped.
