[time-nuts] NIST frequency doubler

[Peter Vince]

Hi Bruce,

	With a quick search of the NIST site, I couldn't find any 
mention of this, and the circuit diagram in your GIF was a little 
small and fuzzy: is that a crystal on the centre-tap of the secondary 
of the first transformer?  Would it be tuned to the input or output 
frequency? And would you know the values of the components?

	Thanks,

		Peter
