Still, there has been progress in increasing the size of the objects we can place in a quantum state, with small oscillators and even grains of sand being notable examples.
Nobody remembers their first frequency-counter, their first audio oscillator, their first this or that.
The former, which is termed nowadays a "Hertz Oscillator," is simply two metal discs almost connected by a thick wire.
This is a counting register operated by a crystal controlled oscillator.
"Right here," sang out Craig, detaching the oscillator and replacing the electric bulb, which he lighted.
A later device, called the Fessenden oscillator, will transmit or receive sounds a distance of twenty miles.
It happened to a chap named Blenkinson, who took an Oscillator that hadn't any brake on it.
