Julius W. Hansen a Jeweler in Princeton, Indiana first started this company in the rear of his store in 1906 and first installed one of his clocks in the Patoka, Indiana High School that year. Hansen held patent # 983,705 dated Feb. 7, 1911 for a program clock system as used in this clock and designed to ring the class bells in a school building, office, industrial plant or in the case a Fire Station. In addition to the Hansen bell ringing program mechanism there is an added battery shelf and extremely high quality electrical relay and related wiring. The relay is marked J. H. Bunnel Co, New York. I suspect that this clock was used in a fire station due to the extra relay. The 8 day spring driven movement is in good running order and keeps excellent time. This ia a rare and very unusual program clock. I am looking for any information regarding the use of this clock. Your help is greatly appreciated. Email Rick Thomes Rareclock@aol.com
