I worked on a number of Standard Electric Time AR-3 systems, which of course worked differently than IBM's system (with the weight on the movement and the minute hand "swinging" up to 59). I also worked on a few Simplex systems using the three wire synchronized IBM approach as well, which of course was IBM's design when Simplex bought the time division. In the later years I used a couple of other slaves I had picked up and mingled them into IBM and Simplex systems, which would occasionally catch a school district off guard. Lathem and Faraday clocks (branded as Standard) had their own movements, but followed the same synchronization approach as the IBM 3 -wire system. I think I might have also put in an Amano or Franklin slave onto an older IBM/Simplex system since that had become the standard. Unfortunately most of these systems were removed for inferior plastic synchronized clocks that barely last a decade.
Great video. You have told me I have a (No6) self correcting slave clock mechanism which I didn't know what it was. I need to figure a way to drive it. I can do it without self-correcting by my National Time Recorder master clock.
Thanks Alan! Great video :)

Great video for the enthusiast.
Thank you Theo.
Thanks for the excellent video.
Stephen I appreciate your compliment.
Another excellent and informative video sir
Thank you Dan. I learned a lot from your dad.
@@SelfWindingClocks he certainly enjoyed Self Winders and Synchronomes
Glad you are following in his steps
another great video, very informative.
Thank you Steve. Miss seeing you.
Excellent. Thank you again…….
Thank you Ralph
Very good
Thank you
Very interesting, thank you. Is it possible to visit your amazing collection? I live in Sherman Oaks.
Yes Bert I would enjoy a visit. Contact me at jabloore@aol.com.

Yes you can run it without self correction. These are usually 24vdc. Just jump A and B together. Then you can run it with just two wires.
@@SelfWindingClocks Thank you, I wanted to ask you that question but didn't want to impose.
@@shedactivist Glad to help. Not an imposition.

Thank you.
