If I think about time an American nowadays the first thing that comes into my mind is GPS. What WWVB or DCF77 (and JJY) was back then is now GPS timing capabilities. Much higher precision but of course a higher complexity for the receiver.

There where several topics around centering (horizontal and vertical) and of course much more detailed than a simple "center" But this [1] looks as something one would archive with a "center" back in the day. [1] https:

As example the TravelPilot IDS/1989 first prototype from 1983 (see [1] if you want a picture) IIRC the system used a compass, a shunt for the heating wire from the rear window (it would alter the compass because of its magnetic field)

Another nice feature I used a long time ago from a shell script: you can send filenames to archive via a pipe (stdin). So you can fork a cpio and send it file for file over a period of time during their creation. That wasn't possible
