He is indeed a nice guy.
I'm scheduled to speak directly after him at IFCS in may... oups.

He has a nice topic thought, 50 years of Allan Deviation.
Pitty I was unable to complete my article relating to that topic, will 
have to resurrect that one eventually.


Cheers,
Magnus

Judah has always been supportive of us amateurs that play with precise time

Looks very interesting. I haven’t had time to read all, but jumped to the bit 
about my pet hobby horse and found that a slight inaccuracy had crept into the 
text.
When describing leap second insertion, Judah writes:
«  This time difference is accommodated by adding an exact integer second to 
UTC whenever the magnitude of the time difference reaches 0.9 s. »
It doesn’t work quite like that as , though I am sure that he is well aware, 
the current definition of UTC from ITU-R TF.460-6 just states that :
« The departure from UTC for UT1 should not exceed 0.9s ». It does not indicate 
when the correction should be applied, and till now has always been made well 
before that limit being reached.

Thanks to StevenS and Dikshie for the links.

The paper (at 67 pages, almost a book) is also available in the NIST library at 
this URL:

"The history of time and frequency from antiquity to the present day", Judah 
Levine
http://tf.nist.gov/general/pdf/2835.pdf

For those of you fairly new to time-nuts note that one of the best web 
resources is the NIST Time and Frequency Publication Database. It covers 
everything from the early days of atomic clocks to the latest in optical 
clocks. All original papers, all open access, all searchable:
