BBC: The woman who sold time - and the man who tried to stop her
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4nn7gew9zxo

An interesting article about coordinating time in London pre GPS. Other locations had superior methods of propagating a time reference. IIRC, from an Einstein biography, while working in the Swiss Patent Office Einstein evaluated a patent (patents?) for synchronizing clocks for the Swiss Railway System.
