I'm currently reading (1954) The Time Regulation Institute [1], which has as plot element a series of fines for people not having their clocks set correctly. Upon my walls hang two "atomic clocks," identical, which utilize this 60 kHz signal to set each time. For some reason, they are consistantly not set to the same time! In Tanpınar's world, the fines would be laughably immense, updated daily, and intentionally frustrating! In my present realtime world, it is just mildly frustrating. -- Thanks for the background/technical information =D [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Time_Regulation_Institute https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Time_Regulation_Institute
