I have a lot of old, old, old, wind up clocks and electric clocks.One of
them I am looking at right now is small, but it is very heavy, it says, The Measuregraph Company St.Louis.U.S.A. 1922 Another old clock I have is what I think is called a Watchman's Clock, it is inside of a leather case. A Watchman, or a Guard, would make his rounds, doing Guard duty.He would go from place to place and insert a key into the clock and turn the key so as to prove he wasen't sleeping on the job.Another old clock I have is a Hotel clock.There are a lot of little levers (which can be slid back and forth) all around the dial of the clock. I have more old clocks (and quite a few old wris****ches) and old radios and many other kinds of weird old thingys than you can shake a stick at, and that is the Truth. cuhulin |

too.Everytime I see those clocks, I say to meself, Sheeeeeeeeeeeit, what do I need one of those for? cuhulin |

Supposed to happen during the night but after an electrical storm blackout, you could see it happen during class. That's a Honeywell kind of clock; way more sophisticated. The big Western Union clocks ran on A batteries and had a pendulum. |
