Claim One:
1. A chronometric system for generating separate but synchronized trains of timing signals, comprising: at least three substantially identical time-base units each including a timing network and an associated decision network; and a source of clock pulses common to said time-base units; each timing network having a stepping input connected to said source, a resetting input connected to said associated decision network, a main output for the emission of timing signals at a rate harmonically related to the cadence of said clock pulses, and a plurality of ancillary outputs for the concurrent transmission of synchronizing signals to the decision networks of all time-base units a predetermined number of clock-pulse cycles after reception of a coincidence signal from the associated decision network, each decision network including logical circuitry with input connections to respective ancillary outputs of all timing networks to generate said coincidence signal in response to concurrent synchronizing signals from at least a majority of said time-base units.
