374 # From Paul Eggert (2018-01-07): |
|
375 # In 1869 the Chicago Astronomical Society contracted with the city to keep |
|
376 # time. Though delayed by the Great Fire, by 1880 a wire ran from the |
|
377 # Dearborn Observatory (on the University of Chicago campus) to City Hall, |
|
378 # which then sent signals to police and fire stations. However, railroads got |
|
379 # their time signals from the Allegheny Observatory, the Madison Observatory, |
|
380 # the Ann Arbor Observatory, etc., so their clocks did not agree with each |
|
381 # other or with the city's official time. The confusion took some years to |
|
382 # clear up. See: |
