Each waypoint of the night watchman's round had a key hung there with a different number; as the watchman reached that location on the ship he would insert the key and turn it and that would make a time and location stamp on the paper disk showing exactly what time he had checked that site. The clock cases were locked so the instrument could not be tampered with while in use.
