ELECTRICAL CLOCKS - SYNCHRONOUS TYPE
Clock No 52B
One of the standard synchronous clocks at present used by the PO. The movements are described in B
1351 and are both designed solely for use in the public offices of Post Offices.
Synchronous clocks are suitable for use only in areas where the mains supply is reliable. The basis for provision is given in B3001. The types used in the
PO are all non self-starting for use on a supply of 200-250 volts ac, single phase, 50Hz, with a frequency which is time controlled. They should not be installed where
time keeping is of vital importance.
Clock No. 52B
These are octagonal clocks, in unpolished mahogany, for use in the windows and on the walls of public offices. The clocks have 12in. dials, and unpolished mahogany case. Now superseded for new work by Clocks No
78B.
