Interestingly I recall some of the equipment having the adjustments for chroma/luma relation in something as seemingly strange as 37ns steps. No idea where it came from. Maybe the rationale was going like if it's something less than 25ns then don't bother but if it's bigger then shifting by 37 (instead of 25) will surely bring it into the "0 ±25 ns" range, even if not exactly on "0", whether it's 26 or 50 or 60, ...
