Back then the ball was lowered manually with several guys using ropes and one guy checking their watch. So the ball drop prior to 1996 was always iffy on if they’d lower it in time or not. The first year when it was computerized which is when they rang in 1996, it wasn’t fully finished and they were about 2 seconds late. Ever since then tho, they’ve been on time.

I recall reading an article (we are talking about 25 years ago now) that the 1996 ball was actually 17 seconds late in terms of where the ball was supposed to finish. In that article, they had quotes from one of the guys who used to lower the ball saying that when they did it manually, the ball was never more than a split second off (which was obviously not true, lol).

I think 1988 should be added in this. When dick said, "leap in, we’re into '88!" he was just 4 seconds a bit to early. (or the crowd was 4 seconds late and the apple drop was late.) And the numerals also lit up late for 1 second.
