He has that because Dr Mills has just told him he needs it.

I don't think he meant that. I think he meant that it should settle on
a common time regardless of how far off the individual clocks were hen
the system started. (I'm not sure what happens if you introduce a new
machine. The existing orphans do need to use intersection rules here,
even though starting orphans mustn't.)
