Another look at the clock in this pic on the old Post & Mail building, it was quite a novelty at the time but probably would not receive a second glance these days with all the digital things we have to play with.

OM back in the 60's while serving my apprenticeship , I along with a sparks wired up the part of the digital clock that faced down towards Snow Hill, Constitution Hill etc , so I only hope Lyn (Astoness) looked at it regularly . The master clock that controlled the read out was about 2' high and 1' wide all clocks throughout the P&M were connected to this so there was never any difference between the clocks
