...Crystal Controlled Oscillator...
...laboratory so much devoted to the study of electric circuits as is the new Research Laboratory requires a highly accurate central equipment for checking frequencies. A crystal-controlled master oscillator of 50,000 cycles, with submultiple and harmonic frequency multipliers giving frequencies of 1000 cycles, and any multiple thereof up to more than 20 million cycles is part of the equipment of the building. It has an accuracy and constancy at all frequencies better than one part in five million...
...work on vibration of quartz plates by electrical means was carried on. They were used for depth finding by high frequency of sound reflected from the ocean bottom. Quartz vibrators were used for production and reception. Professor Pierce, and others, also found at this time that the quartz crystal was useful in stabilizing electrical oscillations...
...continued reference to "You, Oh Bobus, with your sleek, milk fed, overgrown, fatted, unbewitching, altogether plebeian body," and the like. But underneath all this balderdash and expletive lies something fine and sterling. An unflinching faith in man, a sound penetration into the perplexities of existence, a peculiar, earnest crystal ray of hope that leaps through the chinks of his Stygian gloom...

Calling at the White House, he was photographed with the President to whom he gave a gold idol from Tibet...
