Hi, Dana.

EFOS was a series of masers made by Oscilloquartz in Switzerland, there is a
little information on my website www.efos3.com under «about».
The manuals for those masers are also available, lots of good info for the
interested:
Corby can most likely answer some of these questions, since he also has a
maser and does maintain it. He is right now most likely still asleep,
California time.

Several people pointed out that the valve is made of
Hi Ole,
What does 'EFOS' mean? I hadn't heard the term before.
I think I've heard the one-second lifetime figure before.
I do hear mixed reports about where the conversion to atomic H
occurs, and consider the jury to still be out on that question.
I had thought that the volume of the storage
