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 🙂

Yes K we are older than we feel most days 😎 60's for me..

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

They have one or two clocks of this type at The Museum of Timekeeping near Newark. When (if) it re-opens, they host group visits as well as individual visits. Some or them, IIRC, were supplied by the former quality manager at Gent in Leicester who was, when I worked there in the 90’s, the unofficial company historian.
