Hi Mike,

I bought a bunch of these when I worked for Austron, and gave them out to
customers and reps. It was very well received. I have one original copy left
at home, so thanks for the PDF link.

On a visit to NIST Boulder (then known as NBS) many years ago (1978), I was
presented with a copy of NBS Monograph 155, "From Sundials to Atomic Clocks"
by one of the authors.  I found it to be a fantastic read, it answers all of
those questions about Time & Frequency that you were afraid to ask.

I stumbled on it again today in PDF form on the NIST website, it has
undergone two revisions and this URL points to the most current (1999)
edition.
