Description:
N.S.W. Government Railways platform clock. This imposing clock, the largest size issued, originally came from Blacktown station and for the past 35 years has graced the southern portico of Leuralla. The English weight driven clock tower movement was cased at Eveleigh Workshops to a NSWGR design. The large dial is fitted to a cast iron frame, the glazed door hinged at the top above a 2.3 metre long galvanised tin case which allows for 1 weeks travel of the weight. Unlike the example at central station this has the feature of a visible pendulum (one second oscillation). Also visible is the brass plaque inventory number, 286. This clock is fully functional, the face has areas of paint loss and lifting, losses and ageing of case paint. Later addition of a padlock to glazed pendulum door. Removal will be the responsibility of the purchaser. Height 231 cm, diameter 90 cm (face), width 50 cm (case), depth 31 cm.
