[time-nuts] Quartz assisted pendulum clock.

[JayHolovacs]

You are correct, but if callibration weights were added above or below 
the CG, they would have an effect.

[different subject] I cannot confirm that IBM story, however remember 
that IBM was making master/slave clocks for decades before they got in 
the computer business. Perhaps that is where this story (or legend) 
originated.
