[time-nuts] Symmetricom analog network clocks.

[djl]

They're an NTS client driving a motorized second hand and set of wheels 
for minute and hour. IMHO it seems that somebody slipped up on the motor 
specs/purchase.  It might be amusing to use the electronics with a 
better drive motor and an even more classy going train...otoh there are 
other projects. The  software that came with the clock should work to 
set it.
