[time-nuts] 5950 Crystal impedance meter manual

[Bob kb8tq]

Hi

Gizmo’s like that were very common in the days before network analyzers became 
good enough to measure a crystal. They always were a troublesome item to keep 
running accurately. Without accuracy, their value was a bit limited. Every place I 
know of had a big drawer ( or cabinet ) of “magic crystals”. You plugged them in
and adjusted the instrument until they all read as they should. One could easily
challenge this in terms of accuracy. It did ensure that all the meters in the plant 
had some chance of reading the outgoing product the same way. 

So - you don’t just need the manual, you also need the batch of calibration crystals
(and their data) that went with it. Then you can duplicate the readings from whatever 
factory used it ….

Lots of fun !!!

Bob
