That's taken me right back to the feel and sound of the clocking-in clock at Vauxhall in the '70s ... queing up to get your card in before it clicked over 🙂 .... so you'd get your brown pay envelope at the end of the week with the end of the notes sticking out so you could count them, a big staple through the middle and a little window so you could see the coins were right .... feels like a distant world now 🙂

I used to work for a very old fashioned large building contractor that still up to maybe 2012 ? paid it's yard lads and joiners shop that way, I used to still buy the buff clock cards.
When the joinery dept closed they binned the 2 lovely old oak framed clocking machines in the skip, I'd have loved one to stick on the garage wall at home
