It's just a short-circuited transmission line. You feed it pulses and the reflection coming back from the short-circuit is equal, opposite and delayed with respect to the input pulse. So you see at the input a pulse which is as long as the line delay, not the original pulse length.

One cannot tell from a picture. You had best ask the maker, or search out Alan Blumlein's patent (from the hundreds he was granted).

I agree. It's a poor explanation.
