In the mid 90's I met Bill (and also Corby) through classified ads in Nuts & Volts magazine. Long story, but it was then that I learned it was "ok" to be interested in both vintage mechanical / pendulum clocks and also modern quartz / atomic clocks. His pendulum clocks are world-class masterpieces and his home atomic time lab was the inspiration for mine.

Similarly, most electronic timekeeping people are ignorant (or even dismissive) of the wonderful world of precision mechanical timekeeping. So there's only a small subset of people who bridge that gap. Bill is one of them.

So, where's the ADEV plot for Bill's Q1,Q2, and Q3?
