Plaque Location -- CSchlombs (talk) 13:00, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
Dear Sidney,
Thank you so much for submitting this milestone honoring the piezoelectric inventions as the Wesleyan Labs. I have some questions about the location of the plaque. The meeting room you propose for the plaque location -- what kind of meeting room is it, and how publicly accessible is it? Also, why is the meeting room proposed for the plaque location, not the original lab building?
Suggested revisions to citation -- Administrator4 (talk) 13:26, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
I would recommend revising the citation to:
In 1921, Professor Walter Guyton Cady designed the first circuit to control frequencies based on a quartz crystal resonator, and recognized that the circuit could be used as a standard of frequency, a filter, or as a coupling device between circuits. Cady’s research at Wesleyan was fundamental to the development of ultrasonics, sonar, quartz time standards, radar, and myriad other areas.
