Irrespective of the type of mounting, realization of the desired perform-ance in a crystal unit depends to a considerable extent on the processing ofthe quartz plate itself. Previous articles^^ have brought out the signifi-cance of such factors as the precision of angular orientation and lineardimensions on the fundamental characteristics of the plate. The platemust also be virtually free of impurities or imperfections.^ In the prepara-tion of a quartz plate it must be lapped using increasingly finer abrasivematerials until the final dimensions are reached.
