History
Flying Clock
In the early days of Department of De-
fense (DoD) coordinated precision time
keeping, the standards lab at HP-Santa
Clara was an official DoD time keep-
ing station. This was partly due to the
fact that the cesium beam frequency
standards were (and still are)manufac-
tured at Santa Clara. Representatives
of the Time Services Department of
USNO would make several "flying
clock" trips to coordinate time at the
DoD stations in the Pacific region. The
flying clocks consisted of an HP 5061A
Cesium Beam Frequency standard and
' f a very heavy battery supply that could
be recharged in a car or in an airplane. /
It took two people to handle and trans-
port the clock. They would make stops
at Santa Clara three to four times each

sisted of the previously mentioned GPS
receiver, LORAN C receiver, computer,
time interval counter, modem, and a
switching system. The 1pps output of
the SCD reference clock was used as the
time interval start pulse for all readings.
To make a long story short, the SCD-
GPS reading was used by USNO to
determine SCD's time error. An auto-
matic e-mail message was sent from
USNO to SCD each day with time er-
ror information. The information on
those messages was used to determine
long term frequency accuracy. After all
the original satellites became unusable
and SA was here to stay, the readings
were quite unstable. An HP 58503A
GPS Time and Frequency Reference
Receiver was put into the system and
the GPS readings improved dramati-
cally. There was still one problem.
There was still a "paper trail" traceabil-
ity issue.

Ti mebase Test/Adj ustment Procedure
Formula 1. To calculate "allowable offset" for specific timebases, use the following formula.

Allowable Offset = [(Aging Spec) (Cal Intervallrl)] + [Temp Spec]
Where,
`Aging Spec' is expressed as a unitless fraction per unit of time ([.e., 5E-lO/day).
`Cat Interval' is expressed in the same unit of time as the `Aging Spec' above. (i.e., If
`Aging Spec' is a fraction per day, then `Cat Interval' is expressed in days.)
`Temp Spec` is the frequency stability specification over a range of temperatures. It's
typically listed in the specification/data sheet, and IS expressed in unitless, fractional
frequency (i.e., 7E-9).
In a previous issue of Bench Briefs we Example:
