Self-Winding Clock COMPANY.
Timing Mechanism, labled "4.24.HR Circuits / 3 ½ volts / Prog. / Instmnt," Brooklyn, NY, c.1900, wood and glass cabinet containing metal and wire mechanism.
The Self Winding Clock Company was founded in 1886 after Chester Henry Pond was able to design the components of a reliable electric clock movement that utilized a motor to keep the clock wound, but also allowed for hourly correction via a telegraph signal from a master clock calibrated to the US Naval Observatory. The present item is a timing mechanism possibly used in an institution such as a bank, judging by the attractive cabinetry work, for timing the alarm.
