[CW] Ship Radio Room clock

[Richard Knoppow]

    A standard radio room clock from a merchant ship. I have one 
but it needs repair. These are more or less standard 8 day 
clocks.  There is an extra free hand to indicated local time, the 
clock being set to GMT. The markings are for the "silent periods" 
and for timing a hand sent signal for an auto-alarm.
     I took my clock to a supposedly competent clock repair 
person who managed to break the jewel bearings on the "platform". 
It was a gift to me so is of considerable value to me.
     Since this one says MacKay on it it was likely part of a 
Mackay/Federal Telegraph console. Both Federal and RCA made 
all-in-one consoles for installation on merchant ships during 
ww-2. The mechanism is similar to those in 8-day mantle clocks.
