A novel method of measuring measuring a one way light speed (OWLS) is proposed using standard equipment of frequency generators, laser pulse generators and oscilloscopes with periodic pulses going from A to B and also from B to A. The method can then inform B how long it has taken light pulses to reach B?s laboratory from A and similarly A can establish how long the pulses have taken to come from B. The method is based on experimental work that actually used a very similar method to measure the relative speeds of photons and classical pulses. It is expected that with classical optical pulses, the method could measure the one way velocity to an accuracy better than 1 part in 106.
