Anyone remember hauling one of these around?

Did you ever have to carry one of these old Detex clocks around on watch or security patrols? My brother said that the CG base in AK where he was stationed had one and someone clipped all the keys and put them on a ring so they could punch the clock while they watched TV and not have toactually walk around and check things.

That's a cool looking clock. Looks very steampunk. Now they would need to use HID card at. Adios points and send an automated email to your boss.

We used those at the American Embassy in Moscow, U.S.S.R. in 1977 (prior to the embassy fire). Hated that damn thing with a passion ...

4th Option. Yes I've seen it and have used the stuff that replaced it and I know what it is but thank goodness I've only had to use the "Wand" and the "Gun".
