Plans for an Improved System of Universal Clock Time Dissemination (UTC).
Abstract
The distribution of time for public use must necessarily serve many widurposes. Commensurate with technological capability, requirements for precision timing have increased. The demands that are now being placed on the currently disseminated time scale, Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), make it necessary to reappraise and optimize the compromise which is necessary to serve all users. In the following, an attempt is made to present the conflicting requirements and to describe the planned solution to this vexing, but far-reaching, and important problem. (Author)
