Mr WJ Camp, electrical engineer for Canadian Pacific Railway's Telegraph
Department, stated some interesting facts regarding the method of maintaining
uniform time along the company's system.  In a paper prepared for the recent
Atlantic City convention of Railway Telegraph Superintendents entitled
'Standard Time,' Mr Camp noted that every day at the noon hour, standard time
is transmitted from the headquarters at Montreal and this time is regularly
forwarded by cable to Fanning Island and other islands in the Pacific Ocean and
to Bermuda, Jamaica, and the Azores in the Atlantic.  The master clock is located
at McGill Observatory.  The company maintains a time service department which
keeps a close account of the stocks and all employees are required to carry
standard watches.  At Montreal there are eighty-one clocks on five circuits
controlled by one master clock. These circuits obtain current from a small
storage battery.
