"text": "Today celebrates the punch clock, which is also known as a time clock, time recorder, or clock card machine. Mechanical time clocks often use heavy paper cards called time cards, that are put into a time slot and \"punched\" by a worker before they start work. The first time clock is seen as being invented by Willard Le Grand Bundy, a jeweler, from Auburn, New York. He invented it in 1888, and filed a patent in 1890. The patent suggests time recorders probably already existed, but that he just improved on them. His brother, Harlow Bundy, started the Bundy Manufacturing Company and began mass-producing them shortly thereafter. In the late twentieth century there was a move away from mechanical time clocks, to more computer-based ones. There are now time clocks that use the technology of smartphones and tablets.",

"text": "Celebrate the day by punching the clock at work—not literally—but to record your work time. If you are a boss you should have lots of treats in the break room or by the punch clock, so that everyone can relax for a moment and celebrate the clock. If you don't have to go to work today, celebrate the fact that you are not punching a clock.",
