Abstract
Cesium atomic beam frequency standards of different design have been compared, and the principal sources of errors in these devices have been studied. The unresolved discrepancy found between the standards was about 2 parts in 1010. The characteristics of the standard, sources of errors, and the details of the comparison tests are discussed in this paper.
