actually, it takes a bit of wave shaping to get that square, saw tooth or ramp
into a decent sinewave out of most of the digital signal sources osc's...

you don't need to start with a perfect sine being produced at the osc level...

In a colpitts oscillator? It works the same if you use solid state or hollow
state.

label the frequency determining elements?

Why the xtal and any associated coil or cap used to "pull" the freq in the
cmos oscillator... or the pin you take the signal out of on of the
decade/hex/octal freq divider...

errr, oh wait, you are speaking of the ancient stuff from museums!
That is simple, the crystal (if present) and/or coil and cap...

hey, you didn't sneak a freq doubler in behind that osc, did ya?

geesh... any cber would know that, well, after he read it...

and you ain't sneaky and tryin' to run off a harmonic of that osc, are ya?

ROFLOL!!!!
