Dear lazyweb,
Does anyone happen to know what company introduced the first TTL-compatible metal-can hybrid crystal oscillator in the DIP footprint (like a 14-pin DIP footprint, but with only the four corner pins), and when?
My web searches don't seem to yield relevant results. I'm not looking for the history of crystal oscillators in general. I think the type I've described appeared in the 1970s.

Northern Engineering Labs or one of the other crystal makers around the Chicago area. Motorola also made them.

also check the Electronic Engineering Masters on bitsavers.
