The Zeeman effect. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeeman_effect See page 6 at: http://www.leapsecond.com/ptti2003/tvb-Amateur-Timekeeping-2003.pdf Both the HP 5060 and the FTS4060 have a jack to allow you to feed an audio frequency sweep into the tube. By monitoring the beam current you can see a peak (or dip, I forget which) when the Zeeman effect takes place. You need to know the specifics of the physics package to know what the Zeeman frequency is supposed to be. Then you can feed that to your Cs standard and tweak the C field for the peak (dip?) and it will be on frequency.
