[time-nuts] Difference in manufacturing for fundamental tone, 3rd, and 5th overtone crystals

[Bob Camp]

Hi

Indeed, there are processes for things like filter crystals that reduce the 
(very) near by responses. There are approaches for things like SC’s to
take out the somewhat further out “bothersome” stuff.
