[time-nuts] HP5334B with 10544 OCXO

[Rick Karlquist]

Hi Mark, I was the project manager for the 5334B counter.
A "rule" at HP was that all 10544 sockets are required to work
OK with a 10811 plugged in.  There is no rule about the
other way around, however its likely to be workable.  The 10544
was long out of production in 1987 when the 5334B was introduced
and I never worried about whether it would work.  The 10544
is slower to stabilize from a cold start because the AT cut
has thermal transients.  If you keep it warmed up all the time,
then there isn't such a disadvantage to the 10544.
