There'd have to be a huge drop in frequency to put a teletype out of synch!

Here in the UK it's never been a problem as the National Grid 
controllers up the frequency overnight to compensate for losses during 
the day. The long-term accuracy for clocks has always been guaranteed.

If it worries folk perhaps they should stick with the older models that 
had DC motors and mechanical governors!
