At Albion Clocks in the Precision Gallery Mr. Bent has on show as part of this collection, examples of those unsung heroes of factory life, the Electro-mechanical master and slave clock systems. Rather than being confined to a dark and dingy corner of an office our examples of this genre are presented in all their fascinating gleaming glory. Majestically clunking every 30 seconds and driving correct period slave dials, they are early examples of a “programmer” the fore-runner of our modern time switches. Examples of these clocks can be ordered on commission, but what is shown in our gallery is a fascinating display of mechanics married to electricity in its infancy, upwards of 75 years ago. Indeed, the French wall clocks of the1914-15 period managed 2 to 3 years on a 1 1/2 v battery putting some of our modern quartz clocks to shame in their polished wooden cases, and white marble back boards, silently recording the passing hours. The examples by Bull & Barr would grace any study and give an elegant contrast to the modern computer systems.
