Hi Roughly in that era, low frequency quartz standards were showing up. By today’s measures things were pretty rough. A rack full of gear from GR organized around a 100 KHz bar quite literally housed in a heated wooden box was one of the contenders. The UK and Germany also had horses in that race. Things changed a *lot* over the next ten years …. The whole fusion of time and frequency had not really happened so those were frequency standards rather than time standards. The fine old Shortt clock (and similar designs) was still technically the time standard of choice.
