“Early time travelers measured the trips in “grains,” in reference to an hourglass, since they could only move a few seconds at a time. Later machines used grandfather clocks, and measured quarter-hours as “chimes.” The terms remain in use today; time travelers adore tradition.”

Did you spring ahead?
Daylight Saving Time started at 2:00 a.m. this morning. In 1941, Minnesota did not observe the spring time change, but that didn’t mean that Martha Clark got out of adjusting the time on her clocks.
Clark was the clerk of travel service at the Curtis Hotel in downtown Minneapolis. Since 13 states did turn their clocks ahead on April 27, 1941, Clark had to make sure that the clocks in her office aligned with train and airplane schedules from those states implementing Daylight Saving Time. As the Minneapolis Morning Tribune noted, the time change would also affect Minnesotans through the timing of “market quotations, radio programs, and travel schedules.”
