    Time ball on New York Times Building
    From: Paul Hirose
    Date: 2023 Jul 15, 13:51 -0700

    While reading about the history of the New York Times Building, I came
    across a Times article on the time ball:
    
    "For 1907, The Times came up with the ball drop... And it dropped at a
    different time than we are accustomed to. It started its descent at
    midnight. For us, the ball drop is a countdown, not a starter’s pistol."
