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.

Well, since I've just figured out who you are, I may as well comment on an age old post. Or something.

I prefer the traingle in a box because as something in a box looks like it's a box (abitrary thing) labelled with a triangle (local convention) whereas the triangle as a circuit symbol looks wrong, because it isn't a standard one (that I'm familliar with, at least).

What did you decide on?

The triangle in a box. Hopefully the journal reviewers will like it too! :-)
