[time-nuts] HP5061B Versus HP5071 Cesium Line Frequencies

[Bob kb8tq]

Hi

Ok, when you wrote the specification for your crystals what was the tolerance on the angle
for those crystals? What did the suppliers who quoted to your spec say about the angle tolerance 
you specified? When they shipped against your volume requirements how did they do against the 
specification? When your incoming QA tested the crystals what did they find? When you put the 
crystals into production oscillators and tested the result how did they perform?
