Mr. Lane. A minute or so.
Mr. Hubert. Now, I wish you to explain for the record what kind of a timeclock this is. And what steps are taken by the Western Union Co. locally and nationally to assure the accuracy of that timeclock?
Mr. Lane. This timeclock is set up on a national level. Hooked up with the U.S. Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C. And at 11 a.m., each day, all clocks stop and all time is synchronized. The timeclock we have on the counter rotates on a minute basis. It could be 1 minute, you know, either way. I think back——
Mr. Hubert. Well, now, the particular timeclock that was used to stamp this machine, is that the master clock—I mean to stamp this document, is this the master clock?
Mr. Lane. No; it is not.
Mr. Hubert. What clock is synchronized to Naval Observatory Time?
Mr. Lane. It is the clock in the P&R office, there for the purpose of having somebody to check it and make sure it is accurate.
Mr. Hubert. Is it the custom of the company to have all of the master clocks throughout the Nation synchronized each day at 11 o’clock?
Mr. Lane. It is. It very definitely is. Our business is built on the time basis.
Mr. Hubert. Now, how is the particular timeclock which was used to stamp the time on Exhibit 5118 synchronized to the master clock in Dallas?
