The Bozeman courier. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1919-1954, 1926-12-17

Their errors and rates, however, are known.
These are applicable to the clock readings
by addition or subtraction or their plus or
minus errors. A year consists of 1854
solar or sun days or 1864 sideral or star
days. Thus a sideral day is shorter than
a solar day-a difference of three minutes
and fifty-seven seconds, to be exact.
At the Vernal equinox, occurring about
March 81 during each year, the sideral and
solar times coincide. Then, the correct To-
cal sideral time at the Naval Observatory
having been determined, the corresponding
local mean time is readily obtained. To
this is applied the difference in longitude
eight minutes and 1917 seconds-be-
tween the Naval Observatory and the 18th
meridian, giving Eastern Standard or 75tn
meridian mean time.
AS is we'll known, there are four time
zones in the United States, their ALLEGATIONS
being with respect to geographical divi-
sions. The eastern zone is allotted to the
time of the 18th meridian, the central zone
the Goth meridian, the Rocky Mountain
zone the 1O5th meridian, and the Pacific
zone the 12Oth meridian.
Daily time signals are sent from the
Naval Observatory at twelve o'clock noon
and at ten o'clock at night, 18th meridian
time, by the radiO-telegraph stations at
Annapolis, Maryland; Arlington, Virginia;
and Key West, Florida. These signals are
sent out also by the Western Union and
Postal Telegraph Companies to all parts
of the United States. The Naval Observa-
tory takes care of all territory east of the
Rocky Mountains and the Chronometer and
Time Office, at Mare Island, California,
cares for ships and territory from the
Rocky Mountains to the westward. The
radio stations at Key West and Arlington,
in the transmission of time signals, are
controlled by the Naval Observatory at
Washington; hence the frequently cOnfus-
ing reference Arlington Time Signals
More recently, with the amazing growth Of
radio brOadcasting, the service of dis
persing time signals has been enlarged
considerably. Many broadcasting stations
transmit these signals each night.

telescope, reckon time by the observations
Of certain stars as they cross the medidian.
In effect, the miner toiling underground
and the 10th Century Limited, operating
on a fast scderule, are both timed by the
observations of -star-gazers.
However, the millions of citizens of the
United States who daily set their watches
and clocks by time signals broadcast by
radio and transmitted by telegraph wires
should not arrive at the conclusion that
accurate time-keeping is nothing more than
= star-gazing achievement. Intricate mech
anism is involved, and the service is world
wide in scope. A ship travelling the high
seas, although she may be 1000 miles from
Washington, can receive time signals twice
daily. In fact, these dots and dashes, in
Sicating noon-time and ten o'clock at night,
may be heard halfway around the world.
Situated on a commanding hill, at 34th
Street and Massachusetts Avenue, North
west, Washington, D. c., is the Naval OBJ
gervatory, where time is a subject of sci
entific treatment. A white dome, rearing
itself upward, identifies the observatory to
the visitor. "a
Here, on this elevated point, removed
from distractions that would mar the view,
time is reekoned by the observations of
certain stars as they cross the meridian.
Three master clocks, mounte1 on a con-
crete pier to avoid vibrations, are kept in
an underground vault. These timepieces
have pendulums of invar, a metal which
does not expand or contract. The clocks,
sealed in a glass case from which air has
been partially displaced, are maintained
in subterranean quarters as a means Of in
surfing their operation at a constant tenn
p~erature within One-tenth of a degree
Fahrenheit. Absence Of fluctuations of
heat and cold is essential to a constant rate
Of ticking off the esconds, minutes, and
hours.
Sidereal time-meaning observations
made by the apparent motion of the stars
is carried by these underground time
pieces. Faithful records are preserved of
these timepieces-their errors and daily
rates Of movements being accurately known.
No attempt is made to have them carry abb
solutely correct time, which is impossible.
The Bozeman courier. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1919-1954, 1926-12-17

time is kept by the Naval Observatory on
two transmitting clocks located on the
first floor of this Navy Department insti-
tuition. These two timepieces are paired,
so in the event of one being put out of
commission there need be no disruption of
the service. Actually, only one of these
clocks is employed in transmitting time
signals, the transmission being effected
through the operation of a relay. The
ticks of this clock are broadcast by both
radio-telegraph and Morse-telegraph sys-
TENS from 11:55 a. m. to noon and from
9:55 to 10 p. m. daily.
A chronograph-an instrument for meas
uring and recording time in the Naval
Observatory records the signals dispatched
by the transmitting clock and also notes
the ticking of one of the standard master
clocks in the underground vault.
This serves as a comparison in the in
terest of accuracy. By automatic cleo
trical connections with Annapolis, Airing
ton, and Key West, the daily time signals
are transmitted from the Naval 0bserva-
tory to these radio stations. Also, as pre-
viously stated, the Western Union and
Postal Telegraph Companies receive the
signals for distribution to all parts Of the
United States.

The Bozeman courier. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1919-1954, 1926-12-17

applied to the one employed when the time
signals are sent to Annapolis, Arlington, and
Key West. When observations of the stars
are not practicable, in the event of cloudy
weather, these rates of movements may be
applied to the different clocks and accurate
time gagged with almost negligible error.
The time signal consists of telegraphic
dashes every second, with these omissions
or exceptions: The twenty-ninth of eacn
minute; the fifty-fifth to fifty-ninth, in
elusive, of the first four minutes; and the
fiftieth to fifty-ninth, inclusive, of the last
minute. Following the ticking off Of the
fifty-ninth second of the last minute, there
is a long dash beginning at the outset Of
the incoming hour or the expiration of the
old one.
Radio-telegraph signals issuing from
Annapolis, employing a wave length of
$1,000 meters, have been received in
Australia, nearly halfway around the world.
Instances have been noted where these
signals, negotiated by the wonders of wire
less waves, have been heard coming around
the world both ways. The velocity of elee-
t~rOmagnetic waves-186,3OO miles per Sec
Ond-makes it possible for a radio-equipped
ship at sea, 1000 miles away, to receive
the time signal with a variation of less
than one tw~O-hundredth of a second. The
most accurate timepiece in existence is
not sensitive to a fraction Of time less thaa
One-fifth of a second.
THE benefit Of standard time signals to
the shipping and inland transportation in
terests Of the country states the super
intendent Of the Naval Observatory, and
to watchmakers, jewellers, and persons en-
gagged in scientific and other pursuits re-
curing accurate time, not to mention the
general public, is. so tremendous that it is
difficult to conceive Of the confusion that
would arise were this service discontinued
even for a few days.
