TALKING CLOCK
REVENUE TO FRENCH POST OFFICE.
The talking clock of Paris brought the sum of 12.0'00 000 francs (nearly £08,000) to the coffers of the French post office during 1938. The Paris talking clock, when you dial Odeon 84-00. proves very precise, for after announcing so many minutes and seconds after the hour, changing every ten seconds, it announces the completion of a minute by adding to the hour 11 at the fourth stroke it will be so many hours, so many minutes.”
