	This has nothing directly to do with tcp-ip, but I know a lot of time
freaks hang out here.  If you care about keeping accurate time, in particular
the history of said endevour, you will probably want to get your hands on the
following interesting little book I found in the library today:

%T Sky with ocean joined: Proceedings of the sesquicentennial symposia of
the U.S. Naval Observatory, December 5 and 8, 1980.
%E Steven J. Dick
%E LeRoy E. Doggett
%I U.S. Naval Observatory
%C Washington, D.C.
%D 1983

	No, they don't discuss NTP, but they do talk about earlier ventures
in that direction such as Western Union clocks (discussed at length on the
telecomm digest in the past) and time balls, as well as more modern devices
such as atomic clocks.
