[time-nuts] 5060A question

[Dave Carlson]

Hello,

Since the source of the noise is the vibration of the Hot Wire Ionizer 
ribbon inside the CBT it will require using something other than pressure on 
the outer container to snuff it out. The outer steel of the CBT is rigid.

Hej Magnus

Its a pity that the old  rho-c impedance matched high dissipation rubber
method only works under water.
