Television viewers of the B.B.C. television programme All Your Own will see and hear Michael Finnemore demonstrate the clock.
The clock shown here, chimes at each quarter and strikes the hours, but has a lever to check all this if desired. It gives the date, and indicates the phases of the moon and signs of the Zodiac. It gives the current G.M.T. of sunrise and sunset, and shows the small variation between sundial time and G.M.T.
The hour hand moves round once in 24 hours and a superimposed disc gives the correct time practically anywhere in the world. A second hand has been included.
The mechanism has cogs and bicycle bells, curtain rods, bits of pump and various other scrounging went into the works. Michael is the second son of Mr. and Mrs. Philip T. Finnemore, and a pupil at Alcester Grammar School. 26th April 1955. © Mirrorpix
