For Sale is one of the best set of Timelocks we have. These Yale T261 7 hour time delay locks are very rare. Not many collectors have the pleasure of owning this set. These locks were used in daily operations at banks to lock safes for a short time(7 Hour Max). These locks are set to 20 minutes. The clocks are working perfect. The Stop Pins are set to the open position. We have not had the pleasure of servicing this type of lock but not many people can say they have. The lock activates when the safe is shut and bolts thrown out and the locking mechanism on this set is working great. Here is a web page I have found, the only write up I could found on this type of set. It is the "F" set in this article. http://www.my-time-machines.net/yale_2c.htm The neatest thing about the article and these timelocks is that the write up shows the case is #2424 and the timelocks are numbered T3661 and T3662. The set for sale is case #2425 and timelocks Numbered T3663 and T3664 as you can see in the pictures. Bid away at this rare set of timelocks. Here is the write up on the web page. This timelock set is as rare as they come. Type T261 DAT (DelayedActionTimer), intra-day. c. 1930 - 1950's. This timer contains two modified Seth Thomas Type T movements that each have a 7 hour duration within a T361 case that would normally have three T movements. If one looks closely one sees that three movements could not be placed since there is a noticeable indentation needed by the far right lock that would intrude into the movement plate if one were to be placed into the blank spot. This same condition applies where the case is milled to allow room for the left hand movement. Type T movements were the smallest coffin style movements made for Yale. The bottom photo shows a small, delicate wire which is provided to engage the balance wheel and stop the movement (located within red square). When the bolt is in the open position the pins will engage the balance wheels. The timers could be set for intervals as short as 15 minutes. As long as the door was open the timers would be stopped at whatever interval the timers were set to by the stop pins. When the door was closed and the bolt moved to the closed position, the pins withdraw from the balance wheel rims and the timers begin, hence the delayed action feature. This was an intra-day lock used to keep a small vault or cash drawer secured for short periods of time during the day. These modified movements were never popular and the bolt mechanism needed a complex set of parts to control the stop pins and so few locks equipped with them exist. Case #2424. The movements are consecutively numbered T3661 and T3662. A later standard 2 movement version of this lock from the 1950's. file 62
