Re: 12 hour JMRI clocks

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Steve et al,

I am late to this discussion but here is my two cents.??

I have lived with the 0 to 24 hour clock since my teen years.? I wish everyone and everything would go to the 24 hour clock.? I used it in cadets, in the navy, on the railway, in BC Corrections and with the Corps of Commissionaires on contract to the Saanich Police.? I it simple and straight forward with no room for question or misunderstanding.

Early 12hr digital clocks that had an alarm had a dot in the top left of the first digit for PM. Public clocks and ones without alarms didn't need to tell you whether it was pre or post noon. Never ever saw one on a railway clock.

Before displaying the clock as 0 thru 24 was called Military time it was known as Railway time. The CPR has dispatched trains using 0 thru 24 std time for at least a hundred years though they used 0 thru 12 local times on printed schedules for end user consumption.

BR didn't switch until the 1960s, it could why it's called the old country......
