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...
