Both original slave movements are in place and were tested with a pulse generator. The clock needs a pulse generator or master clock to run, which is not included. It can alternatively be converted to a quartz movement on battery on request. The bracket can be used on a wall or at a ceiling, and the dials can be turned so the faces read upright in either position.

The Bakelite is in good condition with small signs of age. The dials are white with black numerals and are covered by glass.

The clock measures 36 cm in diameter and 13 cm in thickness. The wall plate is 27.5 cm high and the total length including the bracket is 48 cm.

Suited to collectors of British horology and railway history, and to hospitality and retail interiors where a clock must be read from two sides. This piece has an attribution mark,
