[time-nuts] Example of clocks interlocking with each other

[Bob Stewart]

And, in fact, the mass of the "shake table" has a big impact on the lock time, as does the mass of everything else besides the mass of the pendulum weights.  Would there be a natural resonant frequency of the non-moving masses (shake table etc) that could prevent lockup?
