Clock Loses Time

Save it in a bottle and send it to Tony.

I feel left out. my clock is actually pretty much spot on. I do like the idea of slaving a clock pulse from the GPS to sync the clock....that would be SWEET!

I saw a bumper sticker on the back of a red car yesterday. It read,
"If this red car appears blue to you, then you are driving too fast!"

Ok, I get it, a astronomy joke...(Google Redshift Bueshift) ....Ment for a small crowd, then I noticed the license plate holder,

"Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena California".

Oh those wackey rocket scientists!!!

 

Wacky doesn't even come close to describing them

 

A four week test found my clocking gaining 11 seconds per week, an 18 ppm error.

A separate trivia item -- while we all know that the speedometers read high, my odometer is reading slightly over 0.5% low. There was probably a good thread for this during my nearly complete absence this past month, but I haven't searched for it yet.

 

what are you calibrating it with?? i have used the distance measuring tool on Google maps and mine is pretty dead on.

 

Mileposts on I-90 in Eastern WA. I tried a stretch of about 140 miles. The drift was consistent out to 101 miles, then suffered a significant break somewhere between 101 and 120 miles. The last 20 miles, taken separately, was the same as the first 101, but of course not to 0.1% precision.

 

Nope....
