Good morning,
 
yes I saw the reference  but he did not point out what it was or  function, 
This paper is more about people and events and very little since  .......

The reference [145] at the  end of the sentence that mentions sapphire
oscillators also discusses a  hybrid photonic-microwave oscillator that
incorporates a room-temperature  sapphire oscillator so I think he
tried to cover both subjects with that  single reference.

The paper has a misleading title. It suggests that it  is a history of
the last 50 years, when it is about events roughly 50 years  ago. The
abstract makes this clear though. So I didn't really expect to  read
much about developments past  1970.

Cheers
Michael
