Two clocks in case one croaks

What is my purpose?

You announce the time.

Oh my god...

What a boring job that must have been.Jesus

So that’s where the term ‟The Time Lady” came from..

I remember dialing 767-2676 (or 767-1111) for ‟Popcorn” and the time would be read from a recording every 15 seconds. This is how people set their clocks in the 1980's.

Who remembers calling Time?

This was, of course, in the days prior to the automated systems that were in use, beginning in the late-1940s. The automated systems would be synced to a clock, and they would play the appropriate time, followed by a tone.

One such system employed a series of looped tape cartridges (known in broadcasting as "carts") that would trip in sequence when an inaudible cue tone triggered the next tape in the deck. For example:

"At the tone, the time will be..." "Four..." "Forty-eight..." "And ten seconds." BEEP

I remember my father calling Time every Sunday evening, when it was time to wind up our clocks (My parents collected antique clocks). I still remember the phone number: (714)853-1212. It still works today, only now it includes the date and temperature, and it's sponsored, so you'll have to sit through an ad.

With a rotary dial

With NO bathroom breaks...if you need to pee just quit...

Makes sense. Women were computers until the 60s.

must have been a LONG day

And I thought my day went by slowly.
