Abbreviated in the Manuscript Chronology as ET6.

Untitled typescript, with manuscript additions and corrections by Samuel Beckett, of a revised version of That Time; undated. 30 x 21 cm. 6 leaves. At least two stages of revisions, with corrections made in black ink, red ball-pen and type; examples of each are to be found in left margin and in text. This typescript divides the text into the A, B and C monologues, and presents them in an unfragmented block. Thus, A occupies ff. 1-2, B ff. 3-4 and C ff. 5-6. Each leaf is headed 'Continuity', followed by the appropriate letter: A, B, or C. [...]
In this important transitional draft, the sections of the monologues are divided using lines in black ink which underscore the last line of each section, recalling the device used in the columnar draft MS [1477]/3. In conjunction with this, there is a sequence of numbers in the same ink in the left margin. These numbers are placed adjacent to the appropriate section and refer to the position of that particular unit in the overall A, B, C sequence. There is a secondary listing of numbers in red ink further to the left in the same margin, which refers to the mass of calculations found in the lower portion of f. 4.
