Close-up photo of the the tall and prominent clock tower of Gloucester Building in 1932. The tower clock had four-faces with 10ft diameter illluminated dials, visible form far away. The Telechron sysyem employed to drive the hands ensured that all four dials were electrically synchronzied and constroled from a master clock located in a control room. A description of the mechanism may be read on this Gwulo string HERE..
