1851 Great Exhibition: Official Catalogue: Class X.: George Weedon Bennett
49. BENNETT, GEORGE WEEDON, Blackheath, Kent — Manufacturer.
A public clock, showing time on four dials, and intended to be fixed in an ornamental case at the intersections of streets, or the approaches to bridges, entrances to parks, village greens, the quadrangles of baronial halls, in collages or other public places, in order to supply correct time, independently of church clocks (which are, from their lofty and exposed position, almost always wrong), and to serve as useful ornaments in the streets. It has a two-seconds' pendulum, pin-wheel escapement, lantern pinions, gun-metal wheels, and slate dials; and the whole is constructed with every regard to accuracy of performance. Two designs for cases accompany it; but these would necessarily be adapted to the locality and taste of the purchaser.
