[time-nuts] Low frequency crystal

[Javier Herrero]

I've also saw a quartz for 440Hz in the "gapped ring" format, encased 
like a tube with an octal socket if I'm right. This unit was used to 
generate the line tone in a old central telephone switch. A very nice 
unit to have collected... but the friend of mine that owns it (and 
worked at that central telephone switch years ago) thinks the same and 
refuses to give it to me! :)

Regards,

Javier
