[CW] Ship Radio Room clock

[abqcooks at aol.com]

So here's a dumb question.  My clock has silent periods marked Hans but yours doesn't.  Did military ships not have to observe silent periods ?  And do you think the one I posted a picture of is perhaps from a merchant marine ship ?I love the history but I don't know it all ...yet.  Oh and I have a Bureau of Ships Navy comparing watch (Hamilton 2974) that has an early serial #.  #23 made in 1940/1.     Jim N5KY

Answer: Because it was always ZULU-time in the radio shack.

Greetings Gents,Here's a photo of a wall clock I have in the shack. Supposedly it dates to WW2 and was on a Navy ship.  Since there's been chatter about coastal stations and such I thought I would post this photo. Note it's marked Mackay Radio. Any old timers seen a clock like this ??
