All production workers at Sprague all had time cards with which they would “punch the clock”.   The cards were inserted into a network of clocks which recorder their hours.  These cards stood in racks.  Workers had a slot in the rack for their card.  As Sprague failed workers were progressively let go – and their names removed from the rack and stuck on the wall.
