Right, I should have explained further: I would bet that the quantum  
steps seen in the graph are equivalent to the smallest measurable  
value, (0.0001 / 60) of a minute.  From that you can count the number  
of steps, multiply and get his drift.  The vertical quanta are easier  
to see and count than the horizontal ones.
