Cincinatti model 1000 series this came in two versions the
manual side print pictured here and an automatic trigger version, some
were equiped with bell ringing capabilities. I think this model was
the model just before the model 10000 series |
 |
Cincinatti Model 10000 Series: This clock had
two versions, a manual version as pictured here and an automatic trigger
model, the manual clock had a handle on the right hand side of the clock,
this handle would activate the plunger, the manual models ended with a
M at the end of the model number while the automatic trigger version ended
with a SS at the end of the model number. This clock could be ordered
from the factory with a bell ringing option, and it used a plastic tape
with holes punched in it to activate a bell switch.
There are various colour finishes for the case depending on the
age, they all have a plastic case, however the ealiest models were
grey in colour and the later models changed to a biege or ivory colour.
This clock was produced from approx earlt 1970's for the grey plastic
model to the change to the biege colour in the mid 1980's, produced up
to approx 1993.
Motors and ribbons are still available, but most other parts will have
to be striped from other clocks. Uses a double spool blue ribbon
1 1/16 inches wide. |

Simplex Model 0002-9500: Manual trigger |
 |
Simplex Model 0002-9600: Automatic trigger |
 |
Simplex Model 1201-9500 or TR2C: Consecutive or clipper
type clock as they used to refer to it, this clock would cut a small line
or indent in the card this is how it would position the punch on the timecard.
Print started at the top of the card and worked its way to the bottom,
this was the opposite way the Amano and Cincinnatti clipper clocks would
punch , also the Amano clipper (models 6500/6700/6800/6900 ) and the Cincinatti
clipper (model 3000) would take a round punch hole out of the side
of the time card.
This clock was produced from approx. 1980 to 1997. It was always
the same biege colour and always had a plastic case, there were various
versions avaliable some with bell ringing options and with two colour printing
and some were equiped with battery backup modules and did not use timing
motors, if the last 4 digits of the serial number began with 9600 then
that clock had a T.A.M(Time Accumulator Module) installed in it and had
battery backup. With all Simplex clocks produced from 1956 the last 2 digits
in the serial number gave the month and year of manufacture, the first
digit donates the year, 1956 started with A and it repeated in 1980 starting
with A again.
Clock parts such as motors and ribbons are still available new, the
ribbon is a cartridge type ribbon which came in black ink or two colour
black/red. Simplex discontinued all replacement parts in 2002 for
this model, but there are hundreds of old ones hanging around, I must have
2 or 3 dozen in various stages of decay.
Please note: if your clock is loosing or gaining time and the clock
face and type section are out of sync then your clock probably can't be
repaired, there are little plastic fingers which lock the type section
in place when these wear out that's it Unfortunately this little
plastic fingers were very cheap when available ( $2.50 ea) but they are
very hard to find now! |
