	Given it's only 60 KHz and certainly somewhere north of parts in
10^13 and probably  down to 10^14 or 10^15 the distinction kinda escapes
one.

	They may not be locked to each other, but are so close in
frequency that relative drift would be AWFULLY slow... especially if its
more like 10^15 from primary maser standards...

	There are only 5.184 * 10^9 cycles of 60 KHz  in a day after
all... and it takes a while for a error of a few parts in 10^15 to
pile up to one whole cycle...
