Records
Preliminary remark:
In these years there was a dichotomy in terms of best performances and records. Hand-stopped and electronically determined services were performed side by side. The official times were usually given in tenths of a second, which were rounded if electronic measurements were available. However, the record given in tenths of a second became less and less important. From 1977 the juxtaposition of the best times came to an end, from then on only the electronically measured value given in hundredths of a second was listed as a record.
