C-701 to C-704, 1974 - 1975
File
This collection includes detailed repair records, primarily dealing with clocks. Allan Sullivan maintained repair records from the late 1940s through 1980. Each timepiece that Sullivan worked on has a unique entry in this collection, most of which include photographs of the piece in question. These records include descriptions of each timepiece, plus detailed descriptions of the operational state of each piece throughout the repairs. Additionally, Sullivan kept notes for each item for any subsequent repairs.
Sullivan numbered and categorized each timepiece he worked on, organizing them into four different, mutually exclusive groups. These groups are as follows:
"C-Series" -- Clocks "S-Series" -- Sullivan's personal clock collection "M-Series" -- Music Boxes "Watches"
Of these categoris, C-Series contains the most entries, numbering over 700 clock repair records.
The table of contents, located in Series I, contain sumaries of each timepiece included in this collection of repair records. These documents were created at a much later date than the rest of the collection, most likely by those who have previously worked at the NAWCC Library and Research Center. There is an index that was created by Sullivan, which can also be found in Series I. This index lists the timepieces chronologically with the original owners of the pieces listed. Interestingly, the S-Series and the Watch Series include the original costs of the timepieces as well as their estimated values as of circa the 1970s.
