Ageing of organic glasses to the equilibrium liquid state is studied by measuring the dielectric loss utilizing a microregulator where temperature is controlled by means of a Peltier element. Compared to conventional equipment the new device adds almost two orders of magnitude to the span of observable ageing times. Data for five organic glass-forming liquids are presented. The existence of an "inner clock" is confirmed by a model-free test showing that the ageing of structure is controlled by the same material time that controls the dielectric properties. At long times relaxation is not stretched, but simple exponential, and there is no "expansion gap" between the limits of the relaxation rates following up and down jumps to the same temperature.
