Sometimes half the fun of a new album was the great artwork and goodies contained inside. Another bygone art form. I never did get excited by CDs and tiny artwork. I thoroughly enjoyed the article, along with the google translation. -Dave - Original Message - From: Chuck Harris cfhar...@erols.com To: Discussion of precise time and frequency measurement time-nuts@febo.com Sent: Wednesday, April 25, 2012 4:55:32 PM Subject: Re: [time-nuts] In the atomclock repairshop...

They had an exhibit touring the world that started in Stockholm, so I was there on the last weekend. I just pulled the next t-shirt in the pile that morning, so it was not on intention. So far NASA hasn't sponsered me in any way, except for the helping hand of a few researchers, but I'm sure I could make room for a spare H-maser or so. ;-) Cheers, Magnus ___ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.

Re: [time-nuts] In the atomclock repairshop...
Hi Magnus, Don't you just love that Rubidium color! Like nothing else. With Chrome's translator I was able to follow the article ok. On the other hand it starts out with: Is your atomic clock for? Grinds it a little and needs to be lubricated? Does the atoms on the end? Then it's time to go to the atomic clock watchmaker and get checked against a frequency standard. The photos and diagrams are great. This article goes into far more technical detail than any other one covering our hobby. I'm impressed. How much work would it be to make a quality English version available? /tvb ___ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
Re: [time-nuts] In the atomclock repairshop...
The portrait of your good self on page 4 A night seance in rubidium lamp light is superb, I would guess that this is inspired by a LP sleeve. It looks like it was painted by Joseph Wright of Derby, who lived about 250 years ago and who was the first painter to paint scientific subjects, and who was the master of lighting his subjects with a single candle.

Hi Tom, On 04/25/2012 10:54 PM, Tom Van Baak wrote: Hi Magnus, Don't you just love that Rubidium color! Like nothing else. Rubidium actually has a deep red colour to it, it was found using the flaming new flame spectroscopy method and is named so from the ruby-red colour it has. So you have a combined spectrum of the Argon and rubidium to get that colour. Oh, and it's a 36 mm wide optical path in there... complete with a copper reflector for the lamp. Ah well. With Chrome's translator I was able to follow the article ok. On the other hand it starts out with: Is your atomic clock for? Grinds it a little and needs to be lubricated? Does the atoms on the end? Then it's time to go to the atomic clock watchmaker and get checked against a frequency standard. This is a better start: Is your atomic clock slow? Does it grind a little and needs lubrication? Does it run out of atoms? Then it's time to go to the atomic clock watchmaker and get it checked against a frequency standard. There is also a bad pub in the second picture-text. Oh, and I actually don't know of any clock which isn't built with atoms The photos and diagrams are great. This article goes into far more technical detail than any other one covering our hobby. I'm impressed. Jörgen Stedje was really enjoying himself. He read up on the LPRO 101 and I added bits and pieces. When doing the review of the article, it was really just minor details and corrections, some rephrasing to get the technical details into decent shape. It's indeed a good article. Not that there isn't caesiums in that lab, but we decided to concentrate it to rubidiums just to get one aspect clear, but still touching on the advanced stuff. How much work would it be to make a quality English version available? Probably not too much. There might be some IPR issues involved, but I can ask. I think Jörgen would love the extra attention. :) He has written many good articles, including one about the Aricebo laboratory. As always many good photos.
