“A Ten-Seventy One,” muttered Levitt irritably, fanning himself with his handkerchief. “We got ourselves a goddamn Ten-Seventy One.” Ten-Seventy One; the NYPD code for a city-wide emergency. What every cop hoped he would never live to hear.[

xkcd 1072, in case that wasn’t obvious!

I couldn’t not, I was compelled to:
Call the crib last four numbers, ten-eighty-two[spoiler]probably the only line that is rated G[/spoiler]
sorry…
Get atomic frequency references at a fraction of the cost, using Model 1083B GPS Satellite-Controlled Frequency Standard/Comparator.
whatever that might mean
Man atomic clocks sound way more exiting than they look :’(
I think it just gets timing signals from GPS sattelites, which do have atomic clocks. An atomic clock of your very own is probably quite a bit more expensive.
This is a caesium clock
what’s weird is, I didn’t already know this song. Akinyele’s a great rapper. He had a club hit with an x-rated song and then went more in that direction, but before that, he was known as a regular roughneck type of rapper. for instance, he was the final verse on Live At The Barbeque, notable for the first verse, which was Nas’s first appearance.
Real atomic clocks and frequency references are far cooler. As Jerwin said, that’s just a frequency or clock unit that syncs to them.
Sounds like one of many other ways of getting the audience involved. This website has great potentional.
