Is anyone familiar with this clock company? Their location was 15524 South Broadway Gardena, California. I will try to post a picture soon! Thanks!
Hi,
Just wanted to let you know about the Zonemaster Clock. My grandfather , Fred G. Burg, was the inventoer & built the clocks. I worked summers with him assebling the clocks. Originally they were bult at the Burgmaster Corporation office in Gargenam, Ca but moved to their own ficility in the San Fernando Valley.
I still have the original stock certificates that Fred issues to my family along with two of the metal Zonemaster clocks and three plastic versions.
My grandfather was an invento with maybe 100 pattents under his original name Ginsburg. There are two exhibits at the Smithsonian , one is the Burg Turret Drilling machine , and another that he invenmted in his 90's of a unique 10' globe of the earth that shows the underwater ocean rifts!
Burgmaster Corp, gardena, Ca., was one of the early builders of NC (now CNC) automated machine tools, later acquired by Houdaille Industries & then acquired by KKR.
If you are interested in learning more about my grandfather & his inventions pick up a copy of "When The Machine Stops" by Harvard Business Press, avalable from Amazon.
As I sdaid, I was part of all this so let me know if you need any additioanl information about the clock - I built a lot of them and have repaided my clocks a few times.
