A technology assessment of independent precision clocks and oscillators, which are one way of obtaining timing information in distributed systems, is presented. The reliability of the clocks is discussed along with the problem areas which are affecting research and development. Problem areas discussed include: device specifications, production costs, standards, and the use of custom made devices.
