Love this clip, I was not even a glint in my father's eye when this was installed, and I do remember the voice of that talking clock.
Thanks for posting this clip.
I am an ex Big T employee having been made redundant in 1992.

@vk3ase and you can still dial 1194 now :-)

Fascinating about the glass disc, precursor to the cd perhaps.

This is very interesting. So how did one hear this? By telephone or radio? Forgive me - I'm young!

It is rare to find one's image (albeit one 55years old) on the Internet but I have. I was the British P.O. engineer who went to OZ in 1954 to help install the Speaking Clock.
The prototype was a working exhibit in London Science Museum. Lack of spares confined it to storage.
In OZ Telstra had one on show at Black Mountain Tower, now closed. Clever volunteers have now overcome spares problem. Models are working at museums at Hawthorn Exchange VIC. and Bankstown NSW.

Thats amazing after these years, did you know a film was made?. Are you the guy plugging in the
6V6 or one of the others mounting the disc section on the main unit. Any way great to hear from you.
Did see the working unit at Black Mountain and know of the others. No reason they can not keep going forever and should be put back in service as the main speaking clock or at least put Gordon Gow on a chip and use that as he is the oficial voice of time.
