EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The Timekeepers" we are transported back to the year 1908, where timekeeping at sporting events was a far cry from today's modern technology. The image showcases the humble abode of the timekeepers during that era, highlighting their more solubrious accommodation compared to their predecessors. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, our eyes are drawn to a quaint chalkboard adorning the wall. This simple yet essential tool served as the scoreboard for recording race times during those thrilling BikeSport TT races of yesteryears. It is fascinating to imagine how these dedicated individuals meticulously marked down each rider's progress with mere chalk and eraser. This photograph not only captures a moment in history but also serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of technological advancements. Today, sophisticated timing systems and digital displays effortlessly track every second and millisecond with precision accuracy. However, it is important to acknowledge and appreciate the dedication and resourcefulness displayed by these early timekeepers who relied on basic tools like chalkboards. "The Timekeepers" invites us to reflect on the evolution of sports timekeeping while paying homage to those unsung heroes who played an integral role in capturing moments of triumph and defeat on two wheels over a century ago. Let this image serve as a testament to their commitment and passion for preserving racing legacies without mentioning any commercial use or specific company affiliation associated with BikeSport TT Race Pics.
