That figure pretty clearly shows the issue of getting a good trigger on a low frequency signal. 

It's a pretty big guess to figure out what the 100 Hz oscillator is doing. At least to my eye it's pretty far from the 1 ppb / second level. 

As long as we're on the Collins paper - has anybody dug up the final paper referenced? I believe it's titled something like "Hard Limiter Experimental Results"?
