OT: How do you sync engines?

This is probably off topic but I was watching Channel 4 last night about the Lancaster. What a great follow on from the Spitfire the previous week. Whilst listening to the commentary they mentioned the synchronising of the Merlin engines prior to takeoff. I can have a pretty good educated guess of what that means and how it might be achieved but can anybody tell me definitively.

Many thanks.
Graham.
