     1        A.  That is correct.
     2
     3   Q.   Do you regard these figures as reliable?
     4        A.  Yes, absolutely.
     5
     6   Q.   How are they generated?
     7        A.  From the computer.
     8
     9   Q.   How does the computer get its information?  It cannot
    10        invent them?
    11        A.  Right, the system that is now in place is that each
    12        crew person has a magnetic-- has a card with a magnetic
    13        stripe on it.  When he books in, he or she, clocks in, he
    14        swipes that through a machine in the store that registers
    15        him on, and then when he goes off he swipes it through
    16        again, that registers him off-duty.  At the end of each
    17        day, that information is transferred to a central computer
    18        who then creates the information for the Payroll.

    28        A.  Yes, it does.
    29
    30   Q.   Turn please to page 710 which I think is tab 46.  We see
    31        the last entry on that page, the restaurant store is
    32        Croydon; is that right?
    33        A.  Yes.

    49        A.  Yes.
    50 
    51   Q.   Then finally at page 715, which I think is tab 51, this is 
    52        the last entry for this period.  Croydon is one up from the 
    53        bottom, do you see that?
    54        A.  Yes.
    55
    56   Q.   We also see that Canning Town occurs twice more?
    57        A.  Yes.
    58
    59   Q.   And Miss Watts appears for the second time, do you see
    60        that?
