Description This is a dial recorder, it was an invention by Scotsman Alexander Dey in 1889. His brother John, founded the Dey Time Register Company in Syracuse NY. This device was a time clock, where you would check in as you came to work. Each number on the dial represented a worker, the were assigned a number. When they came in they would align the control to their number, then spin that other dial to what time of day it was, like checking when they arrived in the morning. If you were on time, a blue ink ribbon would be used to mark the time, otherwise it was marked in red, if you were tardy. There was a paper roll in the center that kept track of everything.The small version only had 25 numbers, where as the larger models would have 150. And if the company was very large, there might be an entire row of machines.

Artist Statement My name is Mike Savad, I create one of a kind creations. Photo realistic is what people think of first. There are many themes, flowers, porches, and local Suburban Scenes, some city, some urban. I also have many Job inspired images that cover a quite a range. If your looking for a gift for your Pharmacist, Doctor, Dentist, Lawyer, Barber, Gardner, Fireman etc, there should be something there for you. These will look very nice hanging on your wall, or in a waiting room, even a hotel room. My art is inspired by Norman Rockwell and Paintings from the time of the Renaissance.
