The Nation Physical Laboratory (NPL) is the UK’s home of measurement and the nation’s timekeeper.
NPL is responsible for operating the national time system and making accurate time available across
the UK. The clock you have just received keeps accurate time by picking up NPL’s radio signal, called
MSF, which is broadcast on 60 kHz from a location in Cumbria. This transmission carries a date
and time code that radio controlled clocks use to set themselves to the correct time. The signal is
controlled by atomic clocks at the radio station, and is adjusted to keep it in step with the national
time maintained at NPL’s laboratory in south-west London. For more information visit www.npl.co.uk/
time Your clock is controlled by the MF signal which is synchronised to the nation time scale at NPL,
making it ‘forever accurate’.
There are times during the year when the signal is switched o for maintenance. Please check the fol-
lowing web site for technical information: www.npl.co.uk/time
