Time signals from the Naval Observatory keep Washington noon
A young man at the Naval Observatory in Washington monitors finely adjusted clocks and telegraph links. At precisely five minutes to noon the switches engage, sending a time signal across 900,000 miles of wires to cities from New York to Galveston. The system uses sidereal transit observations, chronographs, and Berlin-made sideren clocks to eliminate human error and provide accurate mean time for mariners and distant stations.
