It was reported that the lapping for overtone quartz oscillator-plates should be done by "Plane parallel lapping". The present paper describes the general construction and the experiments on the newly designed (1) "Multiple Crystal Finisher" and (2) "Diaphragm Lap".
The characteristics of these two laps are as follows:
(1) (a) Revolution is separated from rotation in the lapping motion of the carrier (workholder),
(b) The size of the carrier is less than one quarter of that of the conventional one,
(c) The minimum thickness lapped with high parallelism is 0.08mm,
(2) (a) The carrier is constantly given tension over the whole surface.
(b) The "Lap Set" including the carrier above-mentioned is easily combined with an ordinary "Drill Press Lap".
(c) The minimum thickness lapped with high parallelism is 0.06mm.
Thus, 4060Mc overtone quartz oscillator-plates have been developed, and have come to be used in the microwave repeater stations between Tokyo and Sendai.
