Hi Charles,
Would it be possible to share the software with other, or could we look
at some screen shots for a start? Like Tom, I have a Lucent Rb and XO
set, and I have given up trying to reverse engineer it's bowls.

Charles,
I see from a posting of yours on time-nuts that you have the Lucent
RFTGm-Rb and RFTGm-XO pair and the monitor program to go along with
it. I just recently got one of these setups, and it seems to be
working (Rb says "online," XO says "standby," Do you have the Lucent
monitoring sof
Any one ever dig in to one of these? Anything useful in there? It has a 10
Mhz output.
Thanks

Hi Mike,
Yes I feel that you have nailed the root cause of the failure. That
explains the failures observed here.
Thanks and Best Regards,

Bruce,
nuf said, in that case it's the expansion of toluene, not the mercury. Can
easily see how that would work, actually rather ingenious. As always, more
than one way to do something.
Thanks, Phil

The thermoregulator consisted of a horizontal ring tube filled with
toluene connected to a 13" long J -tube filled with mercury and
containing a capillary section at the top.

Corby,
Thanks very much for this advice. It turned out the spare unit was quite OK
after all. It's installed as I type, and the 5061A is locked beautifully and
showing the same freq as the Z3815A GPSDO on a HP 5345 counter. A check of
the "flop" parameters shows the Cs tube is nice & healthy an

Do you have a photo, would it be possible to build? I have a few flasks of
mercury and a few 10's of thousands of mercury wetted relays that some could
be cannibalized for electrodes. The trick here is how thin is that column of
mercury. My guess the thinner the column, the finer the resolutio

Phil,
I didn't believe that the thermoswitch was the problem, at first,
chiefly because of the simplicity of operation. Eventually, after
checking wiring, a carbon resistor that is in series with the
thermoswitch, and components around the inner oven control circuitry, I
removed the thermoswi
Russ,
Also could it be a cold solder joint on the tubes connections, possibly look
good but have a high resistance. That could account for an intermittent as
you are describing. Sometimes we overlook the simplest of things.

Although English is the worlds standard language for pilots.
"intelligent" perhaps, but not all, we put two pilots away for embezzling,
one was buying planes to rent and putting them in his name rather than the
company name. That's not very intelligent !

Russ,
In other words, you sound like you are not 100% sure it's the switch. A
shame you couldn't graph voltage and current going to the switch as it
cycles. Is it possible a cap or something else is intermittently failing in
the circuit. Again I'm assuming with that resistance there is something

When I fly in a commercial plane, the display in front of me shows its speed
in km/h and height in metres. The pilot announces the same.
I would have thought that if any group of people could convert quickly it
would be airline pilots. They are intelligent and highly trained people -
