Re: [time-nuts] Regulating a pendulum clock

Unfortunately Gravity is not constant. Pendulum clocks show cyclic errors due to the influences of the Moon's and Sun's Gravitational fields. I forget the amounts but it is in the region of parts in 10 to the 7, which is easily measurable. This limits the compensations one can put into a pendulum

Re: [time-nuts] Primary Standards...

In my checkered past, I once legally owned, for about two minutes between signatures, the British Standard Pound weight. It was a bar of platinum. I confess I did wonder how easy it would be to sell a pound of platinum, as it would have been a bit difficult to cut it up... - Original

Re: [time-nuts] Question on crystal jumps

You probably know that the combined effects of the Moon and Sun changes the rate of a pendulum clock by up to 1 part in 10 to the 7th, but that is a smooth sine rather than a jump. That shouldn't affect quartz either. I agree with other posters - you are probably seeing the quantization of

Similar to what another poster suggested, but more direct - assuming the schematic shows that only the live side is fuse protected inside the HP, then if you take out the fuse on the rear panel, and see which prong on the connector connects to it, that should tell you. - unless both sides are
