I would say the NTS (DOE) ran the tests. EG&G recorded the event. Every test destroyed lots of expensive stuff. Good for EG&G sales.
I've been in CP-1. Lots of buttons. ;-) But getting back to the original question, I wonder if some EG&G parts were just OEMd for the company. That is, parts without a division to lay claim to the design. Maybe the EG&G frequency source is really a rebadged or custom Tracor for instance. ------Original Message------ From: Bob Camp To: [email protected] To: Discussion of precise time and frequency measurement Subject: Re: [time-nuts] Looking for information on EG>S-RFSRubidiumOscillator Sent: Sep 8, 2011 9:12 AM Hi They ran the tests for the vast majority of the US atomic testing.
