  Clocking off | Ident
TSW had a great clock throughout its licence period that strongly reinforced the visual identity of TSW by using having the outside of the clock attached to the ‘blue river’ part of the logo.
Whilst in technical terms it is perfectly correct, the fact that most clocks disappeared before digital television was seriously considered by the industry would seem to suggest that that was not the main reason.
Also contributing to that is the fact that Yorkshire TV had a clock as late as 1999, when DTT was over a year old, seeming to suggest that the technical argument is not the real reason.

 Metamec: Clocking off - a brief history of time
For years Metamec clocks, made in Norfolk but sold throughout the world, were a national treasure.
Historian and author Clifford Bird is believed to have the largest collection of Metamec clocks in the world – around 500 at the last count – which he amassed while researching a new book tracing the history of the company.
After becoming production manager in the early 1970s, he moved to be in charge of injection moulding – a team who used liquid plastic to mould the clock parts and cases.

 Clocking off - a brief history of time
Metamec clocks grew out of a company called Bowman Models that operated in Dereham in the late 1920s and early ’30s, and was run by Geoffrey Bowman Jenkins and Bernard Smart.
Metamec produced all kinds of timepieces – carriage clocks, alarm clocks, including a version for the deaf that involved putting a vibrating pad under the pillow, and the instantly recognisable ‘sunray’ wall clocks.
The clocks needed a florin coin (10p) to be fed into the clock at set intervals to keep the mechanism going.Known as the TSM (time savings movement) model, the clock provided policy- holders with a novel, but effective, way of saving money.

 Clocking Off
Chances are I'd cock my head, peer off into the middle distance, decide it was 5:02 or whatever -- perversely, I've gotten pretty good at guessing what time it is -- and enjoy a very short tenure.
The only reading which wasn't judgmental was the clock, and even that seemed to blink in an accusatory manner.
I'd regularly clock up averages in the mid-20s and even nudge the 30s, with an all-time and frankly meaningless record of 60mph for a few seconds one gloriously rainy day.

 Ultra160 Technology Paper
The clocking signal alternates between "off" and "on" at 80 MHz.
This is referred to as single transition clocking because the device only synchronizes with the off-to-on transition, ignoring the on-to-off transition.
Both off-to-on and on-to-off transitions are used, effectively doubling the rate of the data signal without increasing the rate of the clocking signal.

 Tips for living well - taking time out
Your body is controlled by approximately 100 complex 'biological clocks', each of which is responsible for regulating different vital functions inside you, such as digestion, temperature, the secretion of hormones, reproduction and growth.
Those internal clocks are also known as your circadian rhythms (circadian from the Latin meaning 'around the day').
That's the master body clock that resides deep within your brain.

 KODAK: Beautiful lighting and vibrant colours underpin gritty urban drama
A series looking at the gritty reality of people's working and personal lives in a northern English factory may not seem like the best vehicle for the use of beautiful imagery, vibrant colours and a vast array of lighting, but that is precisely what the producers of Clocking Off II wanted.
When cinematographer Peter Greenhalgh BSC started on the first series of Clocking Off, executive producer Nicola Schindler asked him to make it look "beautiful" not grimy and industrial like one would expect.
Considering Clocking Off II will only be shown on television, it may seem strange that the producers opted to shoot on film.

 The rising levels of debt that stop workers clocking off - smh.com.au
Firms have their own debts, which can be paid back more quickly (and therefore more cheaply) if the equipment they borrowed the money to purchase is used around the clock.
Even if they have to pay overtime rates, it is more economical for employers to have fewer workers who work long hours than to hire extra employees because of the overheads involved including insurance, benefits, recruitment and training.
The advantage to employers of having employees who need to pay off debts from purchases already made is that those employees will be more willing to please and more willing to work long hours when asked.

The converters and Audio Deck still receive their clock from the Studio Hub via the AES sync ports per the standard wiring configuration.
We found that it did not work as well to connect the S/PDIF signal to the S/PDIF D1/D2 connector because there wasn't a way to have the clock in the S/PDIF be the master clock for the system.
We then still had to give the AM713 the AES clock signal from the Studio Hub and this would only work as long as the S/PDIF clock and the AES clock remained in sync, at which time there would be a click.

I was blown fair out of my chair by this show, and possibly appreciated it all the more because I had no expectations, although once I noted Paul Abbott's name under 'writer' I knew I was in for something special.
His scripts for 'Clocking Off' and 'Linda Green' were, like 'Shameless', both sharp and original.
Dialogue is quick and relevant, characters are drawn immediately, and altogether the script treats the viewer as an intelligent participant in the hilarious, and often poignant, exploits of the Gallagher family.

For the most part, in terms of jitter, it is preferable for the AD converter to operate off of its own clock.
Ultimately though, as much of the external clock chatter on the forum makes clear, for some users the resultant jitter from slaving to an external clock source can be "pleasant".
But, in a research context, it certainly would be preferable to keep jitter to a minimum.
