I remember using a punch clock in a job I had back in the 1980's that decimal hours in which the hour was the ordinary length, but divided into 10ths.Could you give me the source, since I have developed this thought 'Metrication of Time of the Day and Decimalisation of Time of the HOUR when linked to Arc-Angle' since 1970's. Moreso, linking my theory to flourishing period of Indus Velley Civilisation via the *existance of Mohenjo-Daro Great-Bath* that I projected was a matimatical-astronomy site.
Face of such a clock that I have worn for over 15-years is placed at:

My two books: (1) Towards A Unified Technology (1982) and (2) The SI Metric Units (1984) are indicative of my authorship. I have been of the USMA listserv and Calndr-L for almost 2 years.
Ever since USMA decided NOT to include the discussion, I post reply to only VERY selected mail. Members can write to me privately (without USMA reference) at:

*****The New Calendar Rhyme*****
Thirty days in July, September:
April, June, November, December;
All the rest have thirty-one; accepting February alone:
Which hath but twenty-nine, to be (in) fine;
Till leap year gives the whole week READY:
Is it not time to MODIFY or change to make it perennial, Oh Daddy!
And make the calendar work with Leap Week Rule! ***** ***** ***** *****

I remember using a punch clock in a job I had back in the 1980's that decimal
hours in which the hour was the ordinary length, but divided into 10ths.
I remind fans of decimal time that a suitable forum for discussing and metric
time is available at my Yahoo Group page at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Calendar-Reform/ . One need not be a member of my
group to post messages, though they may have to be a Yahoo Groups member in
general. I urge those favoring decimal to post messages on that web page. It is
an easy matter for them to copy what they posted on the USMA listserver about
decimal time onto my web page. They can post comments to my webpage by going to
the webpage or simply by sending an email to the email address associated with
the webpage, namely [EMAIL PROTECTED]
When you post decimal time and calendar reform articles to the USMA server,
simply send a carbon copy to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that it will
also go to my webpage.

Back in the early 1980s, at one of the jobs I held, during high school, I recall that the punch clock system used by my employer, divided the hour into 100 equal parts. So, if you started work at 8:00 until 9:25, it would have been displayed your stop time as 9.42. Your work time would have been 1.42 and that would have been multiplied by your rate of pay to get your gross salary.
