Kimberly-Clark guards still used them up until 1981, at least in Niagara Falls. I was a millwright in their NF plant and the clock stations were all over the place. You could occasionally see the guards scurrying about (we got called in at all odd hours) but they never seemed to pay attention to anything...too busy hurrying on to the next station...

Chesapeake Corp. in West Point, VA used them up until the mid 70's when I worked there on the student college progrom(my father was a millright on the woodyard) then the mill was sold to St, Laurent and they later sold it to Smurfit-Stone which has gone through some tough times lately. No body knows what paper company(by name, if any) they may work for here from week to week.
Now the guards use bar code scanners on there routes.
