the cash register tape that Mr. Katerelos saved, (2) the number
of hours between those transactions, and (3) the number of
missing transactions between the first numbered transaction on
the cash register tape for that day and the last numbered trans-
action on the cash register tape for the preceding day. The
third computerized summary showed that, for many days during the
periods January 1, 1987, through September 14, 1987, and May 30,
1990, through December 31, 1990, the times printed on the cash
register tapes that Mr. Katerelos saved indicated that the first
transaction was entered before or shortly after 7 a.m. and the
last transaction was entered just prior to or after 10 p.m.26
However, that summary further showed that, for many other days
during those same periods, the times printed on the cash register
tapes that Mr. Katerelos saved indicated that the first transac-
tion was not entered until substantially after NDV's normal
26 It is not possible to determine from the cash register tape
that Mr. Katerelos saved for a particular day whether the times
printed thereon were the actual times of day at which transac-
tions were recorded. This is because the clock could have been
set incorrectly for that day. However, even if the clock had
been set incorrectly for a particular day, all of the times of
the various transactions that were printed on the cash register
tape that Mr. Katerelos saved for that day would have reflected
the same error. For example, if the clock for a particular day
had been set an hour ahead of the actual time, the time of day
for each transaction that was printed on the cash register tape
that Mr. Katerelos saved for that day would have been an hour
ahead. Nor would the number of hours between the first and last
transactions for a particular day have been affected if the clock
had been set incorrectly. In addition, unless the clock had been
reset, the clock would have been incorrect by the same amount
from one day to the next day.
