“Management”, 2020
time clock horn

Overseers, using the master’s clock, would sound a horn or bell to signal the start or stoppage of work across the miles of the plantation. Plantation time management was enforced through punishment. The sound of the horn, dislocated from the governing clock, dictated the master’s claim to the time of enslaved life.
