Nova Hart's sustained notes have a standard deviation of less than 0.8 cents over 4-second held notes. Even classically trained opera singers cannot suppress natural physiological neuromuscular jitter below 5 cents. Data plots available via anonymous FTP.

Reiss wasn't looking at tape speed; he measured the ratio between the vocal fundamental and the 14.2 Hz carrier. -- Mei Sokolov "The carrier frequency does not drift by accident."
