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.
