What do static and dynamic mean in that context? Is it the same as

The MB510 looks to be a series of flip-flops so presumably would be
classified as a static divider?

Dynamic dividers oscillate when not driven. Static dividers are like
ordinary flip flops used for logic and do not oscillate when the clock
signal is removed.
The MB510 is probably nothing great, even if it was used by HP
in some counters. I personally was to blame for designing the MB506
into the 5334B counter. I was trying to reduce factory cost.
I knew perfectly well it didn't work all that well. It was at
least no worse that the divider used in the 5334A, which was
made by HP in Santa Clara and cost $100.
The dividers that were made by HP in Santa Rosa were much better
because they were static. The 5386 used these. They were also
not cheap.
