There was an article in Scientific American Sep 74 describing a nice hack to synchronize a pendulum clock to a quartz crystal. They attached a magnet to the pendulum and then pulsed a coil at the right time. It was the typical Amateur Scientist level of detail. Some pack rat on this list (I think) sent me a scanned in copy. I can send it to anybody who wants it. >From my bookmark collection: http://www.bmumford.com/clocks/emindex.html You might get some good ideas. -- These are my opinions, not necessarily my employer's.
