History of Prouds Clocks and their Successors Tony Roberts
Prouds Movement Circa 1913
Sydney Personalities Involved • The Proud family • Thomas John Murday • George Francis Gough • Arthur Louis Franklin • Alan Crook • Laurie Taprell • Cecil Gross • Alan Gross • Frank Rozzoli
PROUDS • Prouds the jewlery firm commenced by William James Proud in 1904 • Mid 1911 Thomas Murday English clockmaker arrives in Australia and begins working for Prouds shortly thereafter • First known major installation Circular Quay
ALAN CROOK ELECTRICAL • Commenced by Alan Crook circa 1940 • Located in Barrack St, Sydney, advertising for staff in 1940 - 1942 • Laurie Taprell finished his apprentiship in 1945 with Alan Crook • 1947 Change of name to Ac-Elec • Master clocks with ACELEC on the secondary pilot dial printed on the face
SCIENTIFIC CLOCKS • Commenced by Laurie Taprell and Cecil Gross in 1947 • Alan Gross, Cecil’s son became a full partner in 1949 • Scientific Clocks went on to become Time and Service Company, owned and managed by Laurie Taprell.
