Subject: Re: Time clock



Time clock is a device used to record the times of an employee's arrival

to and departure from work. It was usually activated by inserting a time

card into it and either manually stamping the time onto it, or later

activating a switch which caused the stamp to enter the time onto the

card. Obviously you never worked in a factory or in a hospital or...etc.

I just heard, in the lyrics to a song

by the Tractors, the expression "time clock."



Is this a common expression? I've never heard it.



What other kinds of "clock" are there besides

those of the "time" variety? I'm stumped.



The Tractors, btw, are from Oklahoma.
