This is an interesting piece that stamps the month, date, hour, and minute on something. It is a platform escapement powered by two huge spring barrels in much the same manner as the setup of the IBM time clocks. I intend to put this on eBay once a friend of mine in France gives me a translation of what it says. Thought some of you might be interested in seeing it.

hi Ken;I'm not able to enlarge your pictures and they are very small, regards,Tom

Tom, I have replaced.

The pictures are better Ken but still smaller than optimal on the site. The clock is for sure a time punch clock,as they were used by the military as well as in factories and offices. It is newer but roughly like one that I have that was out of the Finlay-Glover Fish Company of Port Stanley Ontario. You put your card in and activated the punch mechanism,to print the time ,date , and place on the card

Tom, I am still trying to find the optimal picture size. What size are the pictures that you post? When I first attempted to post a picure, I got a warning that the size exceeded what was allowed on the site.

mine currently are 640 x 480 pixels jpeg and that is the recommended site picture size
