Vintage 10 Inch GPO No.34A Synchronome George VI Electric Slave Wall Clock

This is a beautiful, Impulse Dial, Vintage 10 Inch GPO No.34A Synchronome George VI Electric Slave Wall Clock, Made by Gents of Leicester and originally used in a post office (GPO) exchange.

Considering its industrial heritage, the brown oak wood casing is in pretty good vintage condition with scratching, scuffs and blemishes which are not readily noticeable when the clock is hung. The inner face is slightly distressed and needs a clean, there is a stain near '6' / half hour mark which is probably permanent.

As this is a slave clock, if you want to tell the time and hang it on a wall in your home or office, you would would need to use it with:-

• a master clock
• a suitable Impulse Driver, mimicking a master clock, which can be placed at the back of the clock and run from either batteries or mains PSU
• or convert the clock mechanism to Quartz  but that is sacrilege!

Approximate Size:-

• Back Diameter:- 34cm (~13.5 Inch)
• Clock Face Diameter: 25.3cm ~ 10"
  
• Depth: 6cm
  

The face is cream, with the hands and numerals in a contrasting black, with the hour, half and quarter hours in the form of a red diamond. Really easy to read from a distance.

Marked:- 

With a crown

GR VI (For King George VI, the late Queen's Father)
