When the MICOR squelch first came out, its ability to automatically trim the squelch
tail length from a normal tail on a noisy signal to zero tail on a 20dB quieting (or
better) signal was unique. The squelch chip was custom made by Moto Semi for Moto Comm.
The chip can be installed in almost any receiver - and was (even in tube-type receivers).
This cartoon
was drawn by a ham who knows the Johnson FM radios inside outside and backwards.
Here's a version oriented for printing.

Albert Einstein, when asked to describe radio said: "You see, wire telegraph is a kind of
a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles.
Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they
receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat."
