Which is better?

This:



or this:



In both cases, the unfamiliar symbol represents a delay. I use a Greek delta (Δ) to represent transmission line delay, and a square to represent inertial delay in equations, so I want matching circuit symbols. There aren't really any nice standard symbols, other than some quite yucky ones from the async literature that I don't really want to use for aesthetic reasons. I won't say which one I prefer, because I'd rather hear an unbiassed opinion from you lot.

Mmmmm...I think it needs a sense of length & direction & I don't think either graphic does that.

Maybe something like:

	         . .          . .          . .        
	       .    .       .    .       .    .       
   -----------.      .     .      .     .      .     .-----------
	              .   .        .   .        .   . 
	               . .          . .          . .  

Not enough direction--how 'bout:

	     ()-------------------------)      	       	
	   (    )             		  )       	
----------(--o   )			   )------------
	   (    )      	       	       	  ) 
	     ()-------------------------)   

I'm not terribly fond of that one either, hmmm.
