The cesium tubes are considered hazardous material (flammable when wet) by the DOT and the international shipping organizations. Agilent obtained an exemption for their units some time back. I don't know if they can/will still give you a copy or not considering their transfer to Symmetricom. If they will, you can ship it via regular ground transport and save quite a bit of money. I haven't heard what Symmetricom is going to do about the situation either. Chuck

In the Top view the Cesium Physicis package is on the left side and the blue cylinder on the right is the 5 MHz oscillator. I think this is the same oscillator that's in an HP 105 and maybe other equipment (HP 107?).
