Indeed. I've read through the Manual of Operation for the 650 and it

I starte dreading through the SOAP manual but I don't expect to find
anything.

Right. So what I'm trying to determine now
is whether the IBM 650 had an
internal hardware counter facility that could be accessed from within
software to allow for keeping time. And if not, were there any clock
products IBM made that could interface to the 650 to generate the local
time/date upon being polled?
Ahh, specifically 650 -- I'll ask around.
(Wouldn't a hardware manual and/or programers manual help here?)
