[time-nuts] Next Generation Time/Frequency Standards May Require Provisions Preventing Vertical Displacement

[Jeffrey Okamitsu]

Actually, as I think about this, it will be impossible to "calibrate" another 
device unless one knows the vertical displacement between the standard and the 
DUT AND a suitably adequate (read: easy to use) algorithm for accounting for the 
effect of gravity can be developed.

Of course, we're probably a few years away from seeing commercially available 
instruments with the required precision/accuracy...but it will come.
