International Time Recorder (ITR) Model B, Master clock in a 64.5 inches by 22 inches dark walnut finished case.
The 11.5 inches painted dial is beginning to lose a little paint, the hands are original, and the wood bezel is in good original condition. The focal point of this clock is the nice two-jar live mercury pendulum. All the brass and steel is in very good condition, no rust or mercury corrosion. The facetted glass jars have no cracks or chips. The 13 inches long weights are also original and in fine condition. The right side weight cable goes thru a heavy Vienna pulley wired to a hook in the side of the case. Not pretty, but the weight hangs where it should and it works. The left side weight cable goes thru a large brass pulley in the upper left of the case. Originally, the clock had an electric wind motor. It was probably taken out when the wiring to the subsidiary clocks was dismantled. Now you either wind by hand (slow, hard work) or you use the adaptor made by the previous owner. You hook up your drill, set it on reverse for about 3 seconds and you are wound for another 5 days or so. One of the most reliable timekeepers you will every have. The previous owner had it accurate to within a second or two each week.
