Reply to "hand timing sync"

I had a play around with the Hanhart watches last week, and found it is possible to connect a plunger to the terminals for recording hand times, and then to also connect the watch output to the race timer using spare pairs at start and finish. Swiss Timing were using this practice at Lake Louise WC this year as a safeguard following last season's mess at Crans Montana.

I think I'll start doing the same thing, drop the start and finish hand times into unused channels in Timy. They'll appear on the tape for access if needed. Unless there's an outright cable break, I'll have all the hand times recorded on the timer tape. It should make it a little easier to capture and calculate hand times for the TDTR as well. I just need to make a couple of small three-way boxes with banana jacks for connection to watches, plunger and patch cable to hill wiring.
