Gust front image on radar

I am reading a report(from the '70's) which has this quote about thunderstorms...

"Airplane or ground radars may show the gust front as a thin line echo caused by differences between the high air density behind the front and the relatively low air density ahead of it".

Have never heard of this before. Has anyone seen this on their radar?
