When the tape is one minute late, the first digit is dropped from the price of the sale to speed up transmission, e.g., the M-G-M notation would read 3000s4½. When three minutes behind, the last two digits of the number of shares traded are also dropped, so that the tape would read 30s4½. When five minutes late, another sending machine...
