I think this must have the premises of the Simplex Time Recorder Company of Gardner, Massachusetts, who bought the time-recorder business of G H Gledhill and Sons Ltd in 1964. The business closed in 1975. George H Gledhill invented an automatic cash till and automatic cash displayer and formed a company with his sons to manufacture them. The firm bought Frank Brooks time recording business to form Gledhill-Brook Time Recorders Ltd in 1912. The building now houese the National Martial Arts College and a Play Palace.
