Apply Lock state to Ravel

This menu item imposes the lock's state on the source Ravel. Since many locks can be applied to one Ravel, this makes it easy to edit the data as required to fine-tune individual locks. For example, the data for InflationAverageNormal initially began in 1950. Since this included a very brief period of hyperinflation for Austria associated with Russia ceasing its post-WWII occupation, it was advisable to alter the selection to start the caliper in 1955. This was easily done by applying the state of the lock to the Ravel, then editing the caliper, and opening and re-closing the lock.
