Default Quality Fan & Clocks

Way better than anything bubbles has on his plastic French throw away
boat.

1942 Chelsea Bridge clock off the USS Oklahoma City CLG 5.

Capt Neal was correct, buy a fan with old fashion ball bearings that
can be oiled and you have a fan that never fails. I chose the 1939
Emerson with the Patd. Parker blades. Better than any modern fan.

I bet the quartermasters on the Okie City called it a clock.

BTW I served with a guy who was on that ship off the coast
of Viet Nam. Small world.

If it's on Rob's boat it's a cheap quartz clock...on RedCloud it's a
Chronometer.

Sure make noting time in the logs easy. has a 10" face, I'd like to
find the matching barometer at a decent price.

And that's how you got the clock?

Both the ships I was stationed aboard have been melted down
for razor blades, that makes me an old geezer now.
