   A good place to look for an explanation is in the response to this
   particular article in the May 1987 issue...	If I remember and
   have the time I can post a list of journal articles on the subject.

I did a search of the RAPcat database:
	Of 10725 references, 23 were matched by the strings
		<tifft> <quantized> <periodicity> <cocke> 
I have deleted items which appeared to be unrelated to the Tifft
quantized redshift hypothesis, and have grouped the papers into two
categories. Anyone who is interested in this subject should definitely
read the Guthrie and Napier paper; I missed it in MNRAS originally,
and was stunned by the conclusion when I read the paper a few days ago.

I am unsure whether either of these two highly theoretical papers is
related to the observations.
