AN ACCURATE AUTOMATIC TIME RECORDER. The illustration represents an improved time-record ing mechanism operated in connection with a standard clock which gives in permanent printed form the hour and minute at which persons arrive and depart in the morning at meal time or at any time of the day or night. It is designed for use in factories shops stores offices or wherever the time of the employes is required to be noted. The recording mechanism is arranged in a suitable casing within the clock case below the dial and behind the glass panel of the door so that the works can be plainly seen there being a central opening in the glass in front of the recording mecha nism for the admission of the registering key.
