Abstract: A flexitime recorder for informing workers of the respective actual times they have worked during a day's work program of work time including a break time as well as of a set work time within the day's work time less any break work time whereby each worker is apprised of the amount of his overtime or undertime with respect to the set time in which a programming means generates a first signal representing the day's program of work time and including the break time represented by an absence of the first signal and a second output signal representing a set work time within the day's program and in which a first gate responsive to the first signal couples timing pulses from a timing pulse generator to individually operable switches associated with storage counters, each of which is associated with an individual worker and in which a second counter responsive to the output of the first gate and to the second output signal of the programmer passes timing pulses to an additional counter so as to indicate set time.

Abstract: A time recorder for recording time data in columns by means of a time controlled printing device on a data medium, the printing device and data medium being slidable relative to each other and every numerically recorded time datum having an identical feature, including a device having electrical circuit means with scanning means for the data medium to prevent overprinting on time data, the scanning means comprising an optical tracing device which is orientated to the position of the defined mark and responds to the presence of the said mark and drives a stop abutment.
