HONG KONG TIME SIGNALS.

The Time Ball on Kowloon Signal Hill is dropped daily at 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., except on Saturdays when it is dropped at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m., and on Sundays and Holidays when it is dropped at 10 a.m. only.

The Ball is hoisted half-mast at the 55th minute and full mast at the 57th minute. Should the ball fail to drop at the correct time it will be lowered at 5 minutes past the hour and the ordinary routine repeated at the following hour, if possible,

Should the Time Ball be out of order, the above routine will be carried out with the flag "Z" on the Storm Signal mast,

Time Signals are also given at night by means of three white lamps mounted vertically on the Observatory wireless mast. From 8h 55m 0° to 9h 0m 0′ p.m. the lamps are extinguished momentarily every second, except at the 28th, 29th and 54th to 59th second of each minute.

The hours refer to Hong Kong Standard Time (8 hours East of Greenwich).
