Hi Chad, the sketch you sent seems to indirectly answer my question, as I could rely on the axis of minimum "g" sensitivity to orient my three 10811 assemblies, but for my purpose it seems that there is still a margin of ambiguity. I don't take from the sketch how the crystal is actually fitted (vertically?) into the case. As far as I know, "g" sensitivity depends mainly on how the crystal "weights" on its suspensions (contacts), and this is secondary for me. So, I would be pleased to know how the crystal is actually oriented, say regardless of the "g" sensitivity.
