[Healeys] USA time

There is a similar system here in the UK. It used to be on transmitters 
near Rugby and the system often became called a Rugby Clock. However the 
transmitters used are now in the Lake District but a travelling clock of 
mine still received signal in Holland OK. I also have other clocks at 
home that use this system and some can be set by hand if no signal was 
received. For example I had one near copper central heating pipes. I had 
to move it before it would work 'automatically'.
