A creative way on how to use this system - how to tell which guards did the tour:
First item, the clock and components.
In the box:
- 1 Amano PR600 clock
- 1 supervisor key that opens (and locks) it
- 1 box of report tapes, a D cell battery, and a carrying strap (and instructions).
- 15 keystations - key, welded chain, and keybox, with basic mounting hardware
- Each station gets bolted to a wall or square fence post.
- The key and chain sit inside the gray box.
- The chain connects to the box.
- If you are using less than all 15 checkpoints, consider using another box and key: Numbers 14 and 15, for two different guards
- You mount these in the guards office or starting point. They have unique, two digit, high numbers.
- Lastly, get a second (spare) box of report tapes. When you finish the first box, order two more boxes of report tapes. This way you will never run out.
- At the beginning of the tour, the guard inserts his key - #14 for the early shift, #15 for the late shift - and gives it a twist.
- This marks the beginning of the tour and the time.
- By comparing this to the time cards or schedule, you will know who did the tour at that time.
Joe's notes - he had this summer college job at Key Bank, Buffalo NY, in 1974:
The guard walks around the campus to the various station, in any order you want, or randomly. At each station, he removes the key from the box, inserts it in to the PR600 watchman clock, and gives it a twist. This then shows when he was at that particular station. Example: Station 1 could be the Employee Lounge.
Station 2 could be the vault or excitable lawyer's office, etc. FYI, in the business, "stations" are known as "checkpoints". The guard tour goes to many checkpoints (or stations, it might be a regional thing).
Station 3 was the main entrance, 4 was the vault corridor, 5 was the computer room, and so-on.
When the guard completes his round, he returns to the guard office and inserts his key again (#14 for this example) and gives it a crank. This embosses the carbon-less report tape.
Now you have a complete record of which guard did that particular tour, and at what times he was at each location.
Having worked at the bank on nights and weekends that summer, Joe went back to college and never looked back.
