Time recorder - taimurekodaa (English spelling) time recorder

Japanese: タイムレコーダー - たいむれこーだー(英語表記)time recorder
Time recorder - taimurekodaa (English spelling) time recorder

An office machine for time management by recording employee arrival and departure times and overtime work. The first prototype was made in 1871 by American John C. Wilson, and domestically produced models were released in Japan in 1931 (Showa 6). After the end of World War II, production of the same spring-driven clocks as before the war resumed, but they did not become widely used until the electric stamping type appeared in the 1950s. From around 1975, quartz was used for the clock portion, and in 1978, models that introduced electronics and could handle complex work shifts appeared. Furthermore, from 1980, models that incorporate microcomputers and can even calculate payroll have been sold.

There are four main types: (1) mechanical, (2) electronic, (3) with tallying function, and (4) system time recorders, with the functions gradually expanding. (1) uses a synchronous motor, and the basic structure of the clock drive, card feed mechanism, and printing mechanism is supplemented with a time signal device, end-of-month automatic adjustment device, and power outage operation device as appropriate. (2) has several IC boards that store the company's clock-in/out program, and can play electronic melodies to announce the time and handle unusual working hours. (3) also handles shifts for part-time, casual, and full-time employees, and can calculate overtime hours and simple wages. (4) uses ID cards or cards that can record complex data, inputs work information from each terminal into a computer, and performs tallying, wage calculations, and statistics, and is also connected to an online system and a LAN system. In the future, it is expected that more advanced time management will be achieved through personal identification using visual, palm print, and voice sensors.

Japanese:

従業員の出退勤・時間外勤務などを記録して時間管理を行う事務機。1871年、アメリカのウィルソンJohn C. Wilsonが試作第1号機を製作したのが最初で、日本では1931年(昭和6)に国産品が発売された。第二次世界大戦終了後、戦前と同じぜんまい式の生産が再開されたが、広く普及したのは50年代に電動打刻式が出現してからである。75年ごろからは時計部分にクォーツを採用、78年にはエレクトロニクスを導入して複雑な勤務シフトに対応できる機種が登場した。さらに、80年からはマイコンを組み込み、給料計算などまでを行う機種も販売されている。

 種類を大別すると、〔1〕機械式、〔2〕電子式、〔3〕集計機能付き、〔4〕システムタイムレコーダーの4種があり、順次機能が拡大する。〔1〕は同期モーターを使用し、時計の駆動部、カード送り機構、印字機構の基本構造に、時報装置、月末自動調整装置、停電時稼動装置などが適宜付加される。〔2〕は数個のIC基盤にその会社の出退に関するプログラムを入れ、電子メロディーの時報、異例勤務への対応を行う。〔3〕はさらにパート、アルバイト、正社員の勤務シフトに対応するとともに、残業時間や簡単な賃金まで算出する。〔4〕はIDカードや複雑な記録のとれるカードを使用し、各端末からの勤務情報をコンピュータに入れ、集計、賃金計算、統計などを行い、さらにオンラインシステム、LAN(ラン)システムに接続する。将来は視覚・掌紋・音声センサーなどの個人識別により、より高度の時間管理を指向するものと思われる。
