A vital medical application
Another assembly arrangement during this later period
was the instrument nicknamed "Pacemaker". which was
a small square movement about 1.5 inches square and set in tiers
utilised by the medical profession, as I understand it, for regulating
heart beat. It appears that groups of these movements, of some
600 in the group, each with a function to perform, were utilised
by the medical profession for the above purpose. |

1966-69
1966 saw the advent of the Clock
Service department from Colindale. This coincided with the removal
of the travel alarm to the bonny banks. |

1968. The Kelvin Hughes Division arrives on site, the initial
work being coil winding and impregnating and potting of transformers,
together with the aerial assemblies. This continued until October
22nd, 1970 when the disastrous fire took place and the Kelvin
Hughes works was transferred temporarily to the site formerly
used by Engineering Homes Ltd. |

The period 1966-69 showed a run-down period on the manufacturing
of strikes and chimes, together with a lessening of the watch
case which culminated in the advent of the Vehicle Instrumentation
Division in January 1969, the history of which can better be
related by its younger Resident Manager.
