1911 Timeclock - Still Works Great! International Time Recording Co., Later Bought by IBM
Рет қаралды 9,822
4 жыл бұрынWatch as I "unbag" an International Time Recording Co. time clock from 1911. The clock works well, using a pendulum and two mainsprings for power. This was likely a factory clock for use by workers at the beginnings and ends of their shifts. "Punch the clock", "punch in and punch out" are terms that got their origin from machines like this one - watch the video to see why. This time clock is able to record the date, and the time down to 1/10th of an hour. International Time Recording Co. was bought and then merged with another company to form International Business Machines, and its logo was adapted into the IBM world logo.

The inner workings of a clock--so cool! I learned how a spring powers a pendulum which moves gears to turn the the clock. I'll be showing this to my students for sure. Loved the part when the host is inside the clock!

I have this same model ITR which I am restoring. Mine is missing the wood panel around the dial. Because of your video I now know what that panel looks like. Thank you for the great video.

The time recording business of IBM, was eventually sold to Simplex in the mid-1950s. Whoa, hey, careful. You don't want to get hit by the pendulum or get mashed up in the gears. 04:47

I have the same clock, works for about a couple of hours, then it stops. The person I got it was working for days never stopped.

What's the second mainspring for? It doesn't have a chime motor. The time stamper drives off the clock.
