Original and authentic time
board used by workers in Harland & Wolff. This was a workers
clocking in card. Each card had an individual number stamped
on it. They were given this board each morning as they
entered 'the yard.'
The time Office's also used
this board in exchange for certain tools from the stores.
Tools had to be returned at the end of the day, otherwise
you had no time board to hand in.
At the Time Offices, no time board handed in meant no pay
for that day.
It was also used during the
day when you would use the canteen or go to the toilet.
Workers would hand this to the attendant who would time
you. Once time was up, it was back to work!
