     2   Q.   I mean, they have lost hours if they have worked beyond
     3        their time.  You, obviously, have to clock people in and
     4        out with an adjustment report.
     5
     6   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Can I just put it to you?
     7        A.  Yes, certainly.
     8
     9   Q.   If someone does not clock in or does not clock out, and the
    10        shift running Manager tumbles to it, they have now gone, he
    11        may well, remembering that they were there, clock them in
    12        or out for their scheduled start time or scheduled finish
    13        time; is that right?
    14        A.  Yes.
    15
    16   Q.   If the person who has been dopey enough not to clock in or
    17        not clock out is then dopey enough not to check that he has
    18        actually been clocked by the Manager for the time he or she
    19        actually worked, if it was different to the scheduled time,
    20        then they may lose some time?
    21        A.  It is possible, yes.
    22
    23   Q.   I cannot see anything wrong with that.
    24
    25   MR. MORRIS:  If the Managers are irresponsible enough to have a
    26        system where they are logging people's official time of
    27        work without checking it with the crew person, then faults
    28        could occur, could not they?
    29        A.  I would not say they were irresponsible.  I would
    30        say  -----
    31
    32   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I have difficulty with that, Mr. Morris.
    33        Quite frankly, having had on occasions in the past,
    34        admittedly many, many years now, to clock in and clock out,
    35        I would think it was entirely my own responsibility, but
    36        there we are.
    37
    38   MR. MORRIS:  383 is not signed by anybody at all.  384 has got
    39        ISP user but no code.  Do you know what that means?
    40        A.  It means that the task was actually performed on the
    41        Husky system which is then cabled basically to the
    42        computer, and the adjustments were performed from the
    43        computer rather than actually being performed by keying
    44        into the pad on the Husky.
    45
    46   Q.   How does the computer perform its own adjustments?
    47        A.  It does not.  You perform the adjustments via the
    48        computer and it then communicates with the Husky.
    49
    50   Q.   Right. 
    51        A.  So you might touch in the keyboard on this and then 
    52        communicating that PC there. 
    53
    54   Q.   Somebody who had access to the computer would not need a
    55        code to get into the Husky?
    56        A.  No, you need a code to get into the computer; then you
    57        need a code to access the Husky, which is the same code as
    58        you would use on the Husky.
    59
    60   Q.   OK.
