 Line frequency in the USA  is actually very accurate over the long term - not with respect to atomic clocks - but the power companies do correct the line frequency.



In the suburb of Boston where we are located - you never have to correct an electrical clock between the daylight saving time changes. This of course assumes you haven't lost power - due to major snow storms etc....



If anyone is interested - this is a 1920's version of a line frequency monitor used in a power station - with a pendulum clock as the time standard.
