International
Time Recorder. This great clock was found at a local
Antique Store that had tried to get it to run after
modifying the pendulum. As you
can see, they didn't get very far. If you look close at
the pendulum you can see it is original, but they
extended the pendulum for whatever reason. On the back
of the movement, they bent the pendulum crutch to try to
get it to fit, was a very easy fix (Wish they are all
this easy)
UPDATE: 22 July 2003. Clock runs
great! A little fast as it gains several minutes every
hour. Probably wrong size suspension spring. The Time
recorder works great, but needs a print ribbon and
spools.

The previous owner tried to modify the pendulum. Made it
about two inches longer. Not sure why, but this was
easily fixed.

A
massively built movement with some pretty heavy duty
springs. The movement is
surprisingly clean and ran the moment I fixed the
butchered pendulum. Probably the wrong size suspension
spring, but it works!
