[time-nuts] OCXO shock protection

[Chris Albertson]

Even in an active fault area the unit will see more mechanical vibration
comming fomr the building cause by walking around and the wind then by
Earthquakes.  OK, every few years there might be a few seconds of ground
movement.  But most of the constant stuff is very local, within the
building.
