Summary

Description
English: One of the first experimental quartz clocks, invented by physicist Warren Marrison around 1927 at Bell Telephone Laboratories. It keeps time with an electronic oscillator controlled by the quartz crystal under the dome vibrating at 100 kilohertz. The clock's signal is divided down in frequency by vacuum tube counters, and controls the synchronous electric clock on the front. The caption states it keeps time to better than one hundredth of a second per day
