Good  morning,

yes I saw the reference  but he did not point out what it  was or

This paper is more about people and events and very  little since  .......

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.

I think he is really out of it  .

I suppose he could  write an  equally-lengthy article on measurements

alone,

but leaving  out the  post-1970s history entirely was a  little
disappointing.  It was strange  to hit "ctrl-f Rohde"  and see  only one

reference in the

bibliography.  Same for  "Hewlett."  "Rubiola" brings up one hit (but no
citations)  and  "Stein" brings up none at all.
