[time-nuts] Vintage Frequency Measurement

[Mike Millen]

It may be that they were all once regarded as Wavemeters, i.e. for 
measuring wavelength, but there was a distinction that is often 
dropped... the Absorption Wavemeter, as opposed to the "normal" variety.

Much like a video recording almost universally referred to as a 
"video"... a video what?  :-)
