    Sampling was every 30 minutes, alternate pressure and temperature readings. 
    For temperature correction, temperature was calculated as a mean of the two 
    adjacent temperatures for each pressure frequency.  Clock gained 42 seconds 
    over  137  days,  17.5  hours; the cycle interval and time values have been 
    corrected.
