ELECTRIC CLOCK FOR INSTRUMENT BOARD.

Answering your R2/M27.10.31 we have ascertained that the Boyce clock is entirely British, being made by the English Clock & Watch Manftrs. Coventry. We are making enquiries re Ferranti clocks.

We already have samples of Boyce and Gent clocks and are expecting to receive shortly a Smith and Watford sample clock for test. When these are available we will send them along for your examination.
