AN EMPLOYES' CHECKING CLOCK.
There is now on exhibition in London an employees' checking ■ clock which, in addition, takes a picture of the employee, says the "Railway and Engineering Review." The apparatus resembles a somewhat bulky camera with a large lens aperture in front and a button to press just below the opening. Inside the box is a clock, and a sensitized ribbon. The idea is that the instrument should be placed in a suitable position near the employees' entrance and that on his arrival and departure each man should stand in front of it and press the button. The result is that a tiny photograph of the clock is taken on the ribbon of celluloid of the employee who is registered. It is claimed that forty attendances per minute are easMy recorded. The records can be taken out once a week and can be made ready for checking attendance by-an office-boy in a short time. This seems, however, a very clumsy method of keeping time.
