Abstract: A time recorder includes a first sensor that detects the side edge of a time card having a cut-out formed at at least one corner of the bottom, a second sensor that detects the bottom of the time card, and a card feeding unit that feeds the time card. When the time card is fed by this card feeding unit, a pulse counter of the card feeding unit counts the number of pulses of predetermined pulse signals after the first sensor detects the time card and until the second sensor detects the time card. Next, the front and back faces of the time card are determined based on the number of pulses that is a counting result. Hence, the front and back faces can be determined by the first sensor and the second sensor only.

Abstract: A start date and an end date of a daylight saving time input by a user is stored in the daylight saving time information storage unit (41). The radio-controlled adjustment section (20) generates a time to adjust the time which the clocking unit (10) is clocking, by daylight saving time information and a standard time received via an antenna (AT) and a reception circuit (21), and adjusts the time of the clocking unit (10) by use of the generated time. Here, the daylight saving time determination unit (42) references to the daylight saving time period stored in the daylight saving time information storage unit (41), and adjusts the time of the clocking unit (10) so that the time becomes one which corresponds to the user-set daylight saving time.
