Default Re: The James Knights Co. oscillator, 4.0 kc

THe resonator could be any of a number of things.... A flexural-shear mode quartz bar, probably in an evacuated glass holder, maybe a quartz tuning fork in vacuo. or a metal tuning fork also in vacuo. Any of these would benefit from an ovened environment.
