Re: IML: is this a dashmount clock?

[Eric Risse <erisse@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'd bet this clock was for a set-back type thermostat.
Honeywell used to make thermostats (way back when
people burned coal) that would close the draft dampers
in the furnace to save coal at night, and the
thermostats had a wind-up type clock as an option.
