Frequency deviation meter for timepieces

摘要

A frequency deviation meter provides a display of the error in a timepiece's internal oscillator, and includes a plurality of pickup devices among which are electrostatic and ultrasonic detectors. Frequency of the timepiece's oscillator and the frequency error is displayed as seconds lost or gained per month. An elongated aluminum alloy resonant column of tool stock material having a crystal pickup provides a sensitive vibration detector assembly.
