Those who didn't live next door to a rooster had a pretty fair excuse for being late to work in 1944, because you could not go to a store and buy a new alarm clock.
To prevent an epidemic of tardiness that might hurt the War effort, the War Production Board authorized clockmakers to produce special "war alarms". For the War Alarm #1, Telechron combined the case (the rear case was reworked), hands and dial from the Warden and the movement and alarm dial from the Reporter to create a great, simple, little alarm clock. No bell, luminous numbers or light but full of Telechron/General Electric dependability.
