[time-nuts] FA HP 5060A

[chuck at frequencystandards.com]

The cesium tubes are considered hazardous material (flammable when wet)
by the DOT and the international shipping organizations. Agilent
obtained an exemption for their units some time back. I don't know if
they can/will still give you a copy or not considering their transfer to
Symmetricom. If they will, you can ship it via regular ground transport
and save quite a bit of money. I haven't heard what Symmetricom is going
to do about the situation either.

Hi Bill:

I'm not aware of any restrictions, can you elaborate?

In the Top view the Cesium Physicis package is on the left side and the 
blue cylinder on the right is the 5 MHz oscillator.  I think this is the

same oscillator that's in an HP 105 and maybe other equipment (HP 107?).

Have Fun,

Brooke
