The power companies still have to stay within a certain percent or else severe problems happen and can cause a regional or semi-national blackout. But they still vary it enough to make telechron clocks not as accurate as in past years. I have as my oldest Telechron a 1927 Tele Alarm. It works and keeps time, but I don't use it.
