[time-nuts] Have done some more cutting on the Cs beam tube

[Bob Camp]

Hi

The high performance tube runs at a higher beam current than the standard
tube. One would guess that a bit more Cs boils off to supply the beam 
at the higher temperature. There are rumors that the high performance tubes
were “selected” out of the batch. Even if that was once true, who knows 
if it’s true today …
