I wish to make a master oscillator for the shack, and am considering
cutting my own crystals in order to reduce ageing. Is there a source
of raw material?

Also, for temperature compensation, I am considering the use of bi-metals.
(I've never seen one, but what is the mechanism used in Oxley's
Tempatrimmer?)



DAMN! I thought you were going to say throat/wrists, and was going to reply
that in your case it is an excellent idea.

Not you've gone and spoiled all my fun
