  • Abstract
    The development of the National Physical Laboratory for metrology in Egypt is described. The Frequency Standards Department has been maintaining a cesium frequency standard since 1967. Reception of VLF transmissions is used for phase comparison with good results. Future goals include improving the reliability of the system and reception of Loran-C as well as investigating applications of standard frequencies for other measurements, such as new standards of length and voltage.
