Time Measurement

==================================================

In a horizontal direction, each l mm represents 0.04 seconds. The distance between the darker lined boxes in a horizontal direction represents 5 x 0.04 seconds or 0.2 seconds. Therefore, 25 small boxes (5 large boxes) pass through the machine every second. One large box (made up of 5 small boxes) equals 1/5 (0.20) second.
