the swcc clock's were usually used in synchronized time systems. time systems that consisted of many clocks linked electrically to a master clock. the majority of the systems were installed in businesses, factories, banks, schools, and universities. many railroads also relied on swcc synchronized clock systems. some clocks were sold as individual timepieces but most clocks were a part of time systems. swcc offered many very elegant designs for their clocks and the clocks could be purchased to match any decor. these were essentially catalog items. there were however many special one-of-a-kind clocks and clock systems that were installed by swcc. these were intended to be very important architectural statements. two of the most significant installations were the clocks in the grand central terminal and the enormous four-dial clock and lighting system for the metropolitan life insurance building. the two pictured clocks of the grand central terminal and the outside clocks on the metropolitan life insurance building were just part of each property's very complex synchronized time systems. grand central terminal had a master clock that controlled all the clocks at the terminal. metropolitan life had two separate master clocks. one controlled the motors for the four outside clocks, rang the bells in the bell tower and controlled the spectacular and very complex outside lighting system. another swcc master clock controlled 184 slave clocks throughout the original building. complex swcc synchronized systems were also installed in the london underground. the underground installation started in 1905 and eventually included about 600 swcc clocks.
