Thanks, I installed that patch into the experimental version on GitHub.
Wow, the Arlington Time Signal -- it's been a looong time since that phrase was
in common use. Although a big deal in the early days of radio, the Arlington
Radio Towers were dismantled in 1941 because they would have been a hazard to
aircraft approaching the new Washington National Airport; see

Perhaps the 1957 Superman episode was derived from an earlier source, a comic
book say? Or maybe Superman had some time-travel powers that "The Mysterious
Cube" didn't disclose....
