Telechron had to stop making these giant rotors 
during the fuel shortages of the 70s because they
couldn't keep them lubed.  They were a lot easier
to work on though.  Click the image to see more.

The caption of this photo was just: 
"Dorothy Putnam holding a 24 hour Telechron Clock"
Well the 7H09 wasn't a 24-hour clock strictly speaking 
but it's still a nice clock.  I wonder whatever became 
of Dorothy and the slew of other (mostly) nice
General Electric models behind her.

Hi, I'm Pappy and this is my humble web page dedicated to America's "First and Favorite" electric clock.  Have fun, look around and check back often because I update this page whenever I can.
