For those who are ARRL members, they now have archives of QST on-line. I stumbled across a two part series in the Sept and Oct 1952 QST ehtitled:

What Price Precision? The economics of Frequency Standards
By George X.M. Collier W0EG

The article highlights Crystal Charactgeristics,Hammarlund FS135C Standard, Millen 90501 standards in part 1 then goes into building your own in part 2. The ordinary ham could attain 1x10-7 on a 100kc standard!

A delightful look back....
