The 1939 decision of the Armed Services of the United States to convert its radio equipment to crystal control resulted in the creation of an industry that ultimately played an important role in the victory of the Allied Forces over the Axis Powers. Holton referred even though quartz crystal units were known and in limited use more than a decade before that date. The fortieth anniversary of the entrance of the United States into the great war known as World War II provides an appropriate occasion to review the “incredible progress” to which Dr. Holton’s prophecy concerning the peacetime uses of “those little glass-like wafers” has been fulfilled far beyond anything that he could have foreseen. MacLaurin, in the book INVENTION AND INNOVATION IN THE RADIO INDUSTRY, one of the books in the MIT studies of innovation, published in 1949, does not even mention piezoelectricity or the quartz crystal unit. Holton so prophetically referred has not been told and perhaps can never be told in detail. Gerald James Holton, Harvard University, Cambridge, Mass. No less significant will be the fruit of these advancements to a new world at peace where crystals will be the vibrating hearts of most telecommunication equipment. When the story of the almost incredible progress in research and manufacture of radio crystals can be told, it will prove to be a tale of one of the war’s greatest achievements. Sirs: In proportion to size these little glass like quartz wafers are perhaps the most remarkable of all the tools science has given to war. The Augissue of LIFE Magazine carried the following letter to the editor: The record of cooperation among the large and small industries, governmental agencies, the armed services, universities and individual citizens inspires confidence that the most critical problem can be solved with cooperation, dedication and effort. Special emphasis is placed upon the problems which were encountered and overcome in creating an industry capable of meeting the demands of the Armed Services of the United States and their Allies during WW II. The history of the industry is traced from its origin with the discovery of Piezoelectricity by the Curie brothers in 1880-81 to the present time. Although crystal units were in use at least a decade earlier, the beginning of the quartz crystal industry in the USA can logically be dated November 1941 when the Quartz Crystal Section was organized in the Office of the Chief Signal Officer. With the aid of many of the people who were involved, this paper is an attempt to record the history of the quartz crystal industry in the USA. All the Quartz Crystal Formation nodes in Dry Top are minable once per day per account.Proceedings of the 35th Annual Frequency Control Symposium, pp.All the Quartz Crystal Formation nodes in the Crystal Desert are minable once per day per character.Unlike other mining nodes, most Quartz Crystal Formation nodes do not vary in possible spawn locations.The home instance node may be unlocked by purchasing a Gift of Quartz from laurel vendors.Inquest Base (Two possible spawn points but only one will spawn won't appear if Crash Site 3 node is present).Crash Site 3 (Won't appear if Inquest Base node is present).Crash Site 1 (Two nodes one at the crash site and one at the vista above).Fortunate Strike (Chance for a normal node here also, will not spawn if both nodes at Forged Foothold are present).Forged Foothold (Two possible spawn points one in the Forged camp and one in the mine one will not spawn if normal node at Fortunate Strike is present).Mine Site JS-02 (After Dive for machine parts and return them to the quarry salvager (80) several nodes can be found underwater, at least two of which may be inaccessible due to spawning inside terrain).
