Communication

Despite the miraculous performance of their timecycles - disappearing at any time and place and (re)appearing at any other time and place - Time Patrol agents possess no intertemporal equivalent of radio and must resort to sending hand- or typewritten letters in miniature time machines. However, they can play some tricks by combining ordinary radio communication with time travel. Thus, in "Ivory, and Apes, and Peacocks," (see here) Pummairam, travelling in the Phoenician ship scheduled to be attacked by Exaltationists, conceals a radio transmitter under his loincloth. As soon as the attack begins, Pum signals the Patrol squadron hovering afar. Crossing both space and time, the squadron arrives and englobes the Exaltationists at the exact moment of Pum's signal.

As we saw here, Patrol agents arrive with overwhelming force as soon as Everard transmits "Unattached Everard. Come immediately. Combat." That is probably even briefer in Temporal. Then Everard leads an attack on the remaining Exaltationists sixty seconds earlier so that they will not have been alerted by the arrival of the agents who rescued him.

No doubt more elaborate tricks could be devised.
