Myron, you get the research gold star.

Thanks.


I see the 1959 QST article uses a neon bulb, although it was not the one
I was thinking of....

That one used the NE-51? Another one used an NE-2.


I was about to go through CQ, though, so you saved a lot of time there.

For the almost-50 years I've been a ham, my method of indexing articles
has been to TEAR & FILE. Most QST's, CQ's, HAM RADIO, RADIO ELECTRONICS,
RADIO & TELEVISION (in its many incarnations), 73's, and several other
electronic-related magazines, including many printed before I was born,
have passed through my ripping claws, so all I did was turn to the right
file (labeled "frequency standards", in this case) and start listing them.

I also have an almost-complete set of QST's dating back through 1936,
but quit saving the actual magazines in 1977 (78?) when they went to
the bigger format. I'm thought about buying the CD set, but, at my
age, the payback will not happen.

Unfortunately, I've spent more time tearing & filing than I have building,
and now, what with the Internet.... Someday I've just gotta get my
priorities right.
