[time-nuts] Fwd: Talking Clock

[Stephen Tompsett]

FYI, some information from a member of the Telecommunications Heritage
Group about their speaking clock project.

...

The project was know as TIM2015

The best person to contact about this would be Andrew Emmerson,
President of the Telecommunications Heritage Group, whose project it was.

Andy's email address is; andrew_emmerson at btinternet.com

With kind regards

Kevin.
