Ooohhh....is the cycle counting ligic vacuum tubes, too? (The simplest way to make an accurate electric or electronic clock is to let the power company do the hard part. If you can count AC cycles, just divide by appropriate numbers and--voila!--you have a clock.)
And, if you have it compare the output to a better clock, you can use it to tell whether the power company's generators are running over or under their rated load! :)
