Made some measurements on a 5065A optical unit.
-There are 3 layers in the magnetic shield.
-There is about 1/8" of insulation between the
outer and middle, and between the middle and inner shields.
-The C-field winding is wound on a cardboard form that
fits tightly into the inner shield.
-There is almost 1/2" of foamed insulation between the C-field
winding and the cell and oven forms and windings.
Per Poul-Hennings data a 3.25 deg C change of the outer shield
will result in a 1 deg C change in the C-field coil.
This equates to a 3.4X10-14 frequency shift when not using
active current drive.
If the outer shield is actively held to plus/minus 1 deg C then
the shift will be held within plus/minus 1.05X10-14 as long as
the ambient temperature stays within the regulating range of the
PC liquid cooler.
Cheers,
Corby
