He could never have frozen solid in the bomb fall time. I doubt any material has a sufficiently high thermal diffusivity. Even if he were dropped into LN2, I doubt he'd freeze more than an inch or two below the surface. -John == Gents, Wrote: If you want a sub-microsecond time

Well, this will all be over in a few days, but while it lasts: As I recall, the bomber had been hit by attempts to shoot it down, so it was not at operating altitude. They were all gonna die. That's why Cowboy rode it down - or maybe the director wanted another emotional kicker. Didn't see any

To run two 5370Bs at once, you could drive the START inputs of the two counters with the 1-pps outputs from your GPIB clocks, and drive each STOP input with the opposing clock's 10 MHz output. With the counters running in their default (+TI) mode you should see the 0-100 ns phase difference
