[time-nuts] Parallel voltage regulators

[Chuck Harris]

The simple answer is if the heater supply in unregulated, and the
supply changes, it will take a little while before the heater control
loop can compensate.  While this is happening, the oven temperature
will be slightly wrong, and the crystal frequency will be offset.
Voltage regulation adds one more level of isolation to the oven temperature
from changes in raw supply voltage.
