Kent, from this descrition I gather that it's actaually only one clock, the one running in vacuum. The other clock is just for separation from the outside world in order to keep away all disturbances. Two questions arise for me: - How is the vacuum pendulum adjusted in the first place to 200 us

Gentle persons: Gene Heskett asked me if there is a website describing the Shortt-Synchronome clock I mentioned. One could start at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shortt-Synchronome_clock which includes a photograph of the one at NIST, No. 32 out of perhaps twice that many sold to others. The r
