[Tigers] Tiger Clock Identification

[Ron Fraser]

If you have a different variant of a Smiths clock , I say post a picture or at least sent a picture to Brian, it could be important.

This is Automotive Archaeology; little hints and clues can lead to great discoveries, maybe even the truth.

We all have to remember that unless we are the original owner of our Tiger and know for sure, the clock could have been sourced from many places including from other British cars.

 

I have a CE 3131/01 clock in my Mk IA.

This is not of importance to the identification of proper Tiger clocks. But for the sake of completeness and accuracy regarding the excellent article, I have a 2194-08 which is not top adjustment. It is bottom adjustment and so looks like the 2194-09 pictured. Maybe it was assembled during the transition from one style to another? In any case, it appears versions of 2194-08 clocks can exist with either adjustment arrangement.

I hope you are all well and safe.

 

I'm putting together an article for CAT Tiger Tales and am having difficulty sorting out the correct MkI model Smiths clock.  The BON lists a 3030/00 as the appropriate model and what research I've located supports this.  Trouble is I can't seem to find a photo of sufficient detail where I can read the model number.  I'd greatly appreciate pictures of the 3030/00 models where the model number is visible.

 

In addition, the only photo I did find with all the assigned attributes (sideways 3 & 9, red hands, adjustments at 4 & 8, Smiths logo below the clock center) is on a Smiths model CE3131/00 (see attached).  So any group knowledge with references would be much appreciated.

 

I try to make these articles as accurate as the data allows.

There is enough erroneous data out there already.

Cheers,

Brian
