Up through and including the 101A, only the crystal was ovenized; the
oscillator itself was not temperature controlled other than via the
environment in which it lived. Given that the 100 series was mostly vacuum
tubes, that is understandable. I was a little surprised to discover that
the solid-state 101A had only the crystal in its oven and, in fact, its
specs are no better than the vacuum-tube 100E. Later models moved more and
more stuff into the oven and the specs got better.
