last recorded frequency in step 10. This gives the frequency
correction factor needed to adjust the A27 10 MHz Frequency
Standard.

Do not use a metal adjustment tool to tune an oven-controlled
crystal oscillator (OCXO). The metal will conduct heat away from the
oscillator circuit, shifting the operating conditions.

Use a nonconductive adjustment tool to adjust the 18-turn FREQ
ADJ capacitor on the A27Al 10 MHz Quartz Crystal Oscillator for
a Frequency Counter indication of 0.00 Hz. See Figure 3-53 for
the location of the A27Al 10 MHz Quartz Crystal Oscillator.
