Warren Telechron Model 8B07 digital clock, circa 1928

This is a very early electric clock made by Warren Telechron Co., Ashland, Mass. The clock has a Bakelite case and numerals on metal wheels to display hours, minutes, and seconds in "digital" format. There is a red/white power failure indicator. The movement is powered by a Telechron B-2 rotor. There is a number 24 stamped on the bottom, but I'm not sure what it indicates. It is my understanding that the B-2 rotors were made from around 1927. I believe this clock is probably from the late 1920's or early 1930's. When this clock came in for service the Telechron motor would not run and the movement was stiff with dried up oil and grease. The B-2 rotor was sent out to be rebuilt and the movement was disassembled and cleaned and lubricated. With the rebuilt rotor in place the clock now runs well.
