🔍 Key Concepts

• Chronometer error (fast or slow) relative to GMT • Chronometer rate as the daily change in error • How to compare readings on two different days at the same GMT time signal

💭 Think About

• First, decide on each day whether the chronometer is fast or slow compared to the 1200 GMT time tick and by how many seconds. • Then, determine how much the chronometer’s error has changed from yesterday to today. • Finally, think about whether the chronometer rate is expressed as a gain (+) or loss (−) of time per day and in what units.

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear which day’s reading is fast or slow and by how much. • Confirm that the rate is the change in error per day, not the total error itself. • Check that the sign (+ or −) matches whether the chronometer is gaining or losing time each day.
