Abstract
A communications system includes apparatus for generating a succession of time message signals, a central station having a transmitter for transmitting the time message signals, at least a first receiver for receiving the time message signals and timer circuits for determining the real time of receipt of each time message signal. Each time message signal is representative of the real time of receipt, by the first receiver, of a preceding time message. The first receiver includes a clock for providing the first receiver with an internal time signal. The clock is reset upon receipt of a first time message signal and is advanced, upon receipt of a subsequent time message signal, by the real time indicated by the subsequent time message signal.
