A fine example of an early twentieth century time recorder clock in an oak case. The bevelled glass panel bears the words 'Manufactured By The National Time Recorder Co. (Patentees) London SE.' The clock face with Roman numerals is set within a carved wood frame and bears the name British Time Recorder Co. Ltd. 149 Farringdon Road, London EC. beneath which is a small metal plaque stating 'Overhauled by British Time Recorder Co. Ltd, 149 Farringdon Road, London EC1 Phone. Terminus 1451 and the Reg No 8129'. This Time Recorder is in full working order.
English, circa 1912.
Notes: Time Recorders like this one would have been used to record the times workers came in and out of their place of work. The National Time Recorder Co. Ltd (incorporated in 1917, company number 146424, though possibly founded around 10 years earlier in 1907) was one of the two largest UK manufacturers of time recorders in the UK. The head office and factory was originally based in Blackfriars London, and moved to the Lagoon Works in St Mary Cray (Orpington) Kent in 1951, on the site of the Blue Lagoon swimming pool which had been damaged during the war. Other branches were established in London, Birmingham, Bristol, Dublin, Glasgow, Leeds, Manchester, Newcastle-upon-Tyne and Sheffield.
