     1
     2   Q.   But with the Husky, you are not given that total?
     3        A.  No.
     4
     5   Q.   So it would then be a question of remembering how many
     6        hours you had worked and noticing that it was different to
     7        your payslip?
     8        A.  Yes.
     9
    10   MS. STEEL:  The totalling up, was that done by the machine or
    11        was that done by the Manager?
    12        A.  Which system, sorry?
    13
    14   Q.   With the clock cards?
    15        A.  It was done by the Manager on the Sunday morning.
    16
    17   Q.   Right.
    18        A.  Or a Saturday evening.
    19
    20   Q.   So the crew would see the totalled figure that had been
    21        totalled by the Manager?
    22        A.  I would say 60/70 per cent of them would do, yes.
    23
    24   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  On their payslip?
    25        A.  On the clock card.
    26
    27   MS. STEEL:   On the clock card?
    28        A.  Because -----
    29
    30   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I am sorry, you have gone back to clock
    31        cards, have you?
    32
    33   MS. STEEL:   Yes.  I was trying to clarify.
    34
    35   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  What I am trying to get at is, when you have
    36        the old clock cards, it would be easier to notice if you
    37        lost an hour, because at the end of each week you would see
    38        how many hours you have worked and you might remember that
    39        you had worked 24 hours the week before last and 26 last
    40        week, and then you might see on your payslip -- you might
    41        not, I suppose -- that you had only got 49 when you should
    42        have had 50.
    43
    44        When you got to the Husky, as I understand it, you did not
    45        have that advantage; you would have to remember that you
    46        had worked 24 hours and then 26 hours and, therefore, that
    47        you had worked one hour more than you had got on your
    48        payslip?
    49        A.  Yes.
    50 
    51   MS. STEEL:  How long did the clock cards last? 
    52        A.  Do you mean the whole system itself? 
    53
    54   Q.   No, just -- when you say it was totalled up.
    55
    56   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  One week, you said?
    57        A.  From Sunday to Saturday.
    58
    59   MS. STEEL:  And then the total, you said, was put on the clock
    60        card?
