It was 230 feet high, and had ten floors,〔http://www.westernunionalumni.com/wuhq.htm. Western Union Headquarters Buildings History.〕 where 100 telegraph operators worked 24 hours a day. The building was topped by a clock tower, and some claim that this building was the first skyscraper in New York.〔http://www.jstor.org/pss/987622. New York and the problem of the first skyscraper.〕 Beginning in 1877, a ball was dropped from the top of the building at exactly noon, triggered by a telegraph from the National Observatory in Washington, D.C. This system, invented by George May Phelps, was later used as the initial reference for Standard railway time in 1883, and would stay in use until 1912.〔http://www.telegraph-history.org/george-m-phelps/.
