>From CCO:
The ntp clock-period command is added automatically to jump-start the NTP
frequency compensation when the box is rebooted. (Do not configure this
command manually.) This is essentially a representation of the frequency of
the crystal used as the local timebase, and may take several days to
calculate otherwise.
------------------
Another one from CCO:
Do not enter this command; it is documented for informational purposes only.
The system automatically generates this command as the Network Time Protocol
(NTP) determines the clock error and compensates.

I have never specified one. I believe that the router calculates the
clock period based on the offsets it receives from the clock from which
it synchronizes.
If you're using a router as a standalone NTP master with no reference
clock on the network, you could probably adjust this to correct for its
internal drift, although this would involve a lot of trial and error.
