PADDINGTON'S NEW CLOCK
Paddington railway station, London, has a new clock. It' is an immense affair, which publishes the time in figures 3 feet high, constructed of silvered glass reflectors on b.elts of steel slates, rather like roller blinds. The three "roller-blinds" giving the figures are controlled electrically by a ma-stor clock, which is in turn controlled from Greenwich. They weigh three-quarters of a ton, and are 37 feet long. Acute space restriction has made it necessary for the entire mechanism of the clock to be enclosed behind the facade to a depth of only 2 feet. The numerals are flood-lighted, and visible nt a considerable distance, from a largo number of the arrival platforms.
