on time vs. in time

[mas94010]

Can you give me some rules on when to use "on time" vs. "in time?"

On time= the correct time:
I arrived on time for my job interview

In time = nearly be late, but manage to get there:

The train was delayed for ten minutes, but I got to the meeting in time.

So I eat it, and it goes to my waist.
