A James Remind-O-Clock Hotel Alarm TimerModel M, electric clock7 1/2 x 7 1/4 x 3 3/4 in. (19.1 x 18.4 x 9.5 cm.)Provenance: The Estate of Bob Bentley Lloyd, treasurer for The Music Box Society International (MBSI) ; from Smithsonian Learning Lab: "The brainchild of cab driver Henry C. James, Jr., the James Remind-O-Clock was a useful innovation for people in various industries, from hotels to taxi services to laboratories. The electric clock?s unique feature is its mechanism for allowing multiple alarms for a single event, such as a laboratory experiment that requires the timing of various steps. The 48 small keys located around the face of the clock could be set to ring a maximum of 48 alarms or ?reminders? at one setting. James established the James Clock Manufacturing Co. in Oakland in 1933, and produced and patented this model in 1937 (Patent number 2,098,965)." Abell provides in-house shipping for select items.
