More than thirty years ago, I built a Rate Generator for LORAN-C
excatly according to the above principle. It is still wandering
at my junk box and is a three digit preset counter (3XSN7490)
a quad input decoding gate (SN7420) and the thumbwheel switches.
Using more or less the same principle there is also a six digit
delay resolving one microsecond.
They are very ancient designs but they work pretty well.
