Remindoclock

The Remindoclock  iHorn is a General Electric commercial timer probably used in a motel to set multiple wake-up alarms as requested by the guests.  I was made in 1935 and still works!  The brainchild of cab driver Henry C. James, Jr. The electric clock’s unique feature is its mechanism for allowing multiple alarms for a single event, such as a laboratory experiment that requires the timing of various steps. The 48 small keys located around the face of the clock could be set to ring a maximum of 48 alarms or ‘reminders’ at one setting. James established the James Clock Manufacturing Co. in Oakland in 1933, and produced and patented this model in 1937.  It won commercial popularity in the motel industry where the Remindotimer permitted wake up call alarms to be set for the front desk for numerous rooms, expanding the services offered to the time driven traveler.  The Remindoclock is alarmingly interesting!
