[time-nuts] So, how did you spend your leapsecond?

Well, one of my reference standards - and the most expensive - worked
through the leap second thus:-

58
59
00
01
02

etc.

To be fair though, it predates the Leap Second by a few years and
there are no applicable firmware updates. For those who are
interested, it was manufactured by Wm. Thompson of Newbury, England
around 1765.

Other time references, Thunderbolt/Lady Heather etc. all worked as
others have stated.

Off to wind the old girl up, Is it right to call a long
case/grandfather clock "old girl"?
