Sorry, but can’t see how Bowleys watch which he says he looked at when reaching the scene , could be 7 minutes slow.
And Markams clock would have to be similarly 7 minutes slow.
So that’s why I at least was offering double timing for Oswald so the timeline can work without having to impeach major WC witnesses.
Did Calloway ever agree with anyone making a suggestion that he must of heard the shots fired at 1:15?
And there is that pesky 1:15 DOA by the emergency doctor which is MOT the same as a physicians “estimate” of when Tippit was shot. The DOA document is simply noting what the time of the hospital clock was when the doctor announced the body is dead. That clock also would have to be 7 minutes slow if you believe that the Bowleys radio call was made at 1:17.
As I've said before, we can't assume that everyone's clock was set to a specific time standard. In the days before NTP and quartz movement, you could reliably figure that any random clock you would see would be within 5 minutes of "real" time. Sometimes not even that. Bowley is quoted in Into the Nightmare as saying that his watch could be 5 minutes off. So, it could have been as late as 1:15 when Bowley's watch indicated 1:10. Also, the DPD clocks are not guaranteed to be exactly on time either, though they should generally be closer than Bowley's watch. Bowles said the dispatch center clocks were as much as 2 minutes off.
So if Bowey's watch is 5 minutes slow, and the channel one clock is two minutes fast, then 1:10 Bowley time is 1:15 "real" time and 1:17 on the channel one clock is also 1:15 "real" time, and there isn't a discrepancy.
As for Markham's laundromat clock, I will say that I've never seen anyone set their watch to a laundromat clock. There may be a reason for that.
