Catalog Description:

C.1910, E. Howard and Co., Boston, Watchman's Clock, in good condition, running. The majority of these have had the either the recording unit or the secondary spring movements removed , but this one fortunately still has its original parts. There is a scribe (pencil) held by the recorder, which is activated by the t secondary units either side of the center recording unit. When the watchman presses a button at his station, an electro magnet trips the secondary movement, and the pencil moves horizontally, scribing a line on the graph paper (which is rotated by a driveshaft down from the clock above). This oak style 89 case has been stripped and is dark; right side has small hole at top. The Watchman's tablet has been copied from the broken original (although not perfect, has been carefully done with real gold leaf and black outline). An interesting item. Height 60 inches
