is done.  Once outside those boundaries, a "time correction" is ordered and

utilities purposely add or subtract generation to the system to hold

frequency 2/100 Hz high or low until synchronous time is once again correct.

Each utility contributes compared to their percentage of the whole. >>

How does this effect guys who are playing Hammond tonewheel organs?
