Arundel is a beautiful place, from the castle to the (split in two) cathedral, all the way down to the Wildfowl and Wetlands centre. You can even go boating on the river for a laugh with mates, though splashing each other is frowned upon (no wet t-shirt competitions either )

I think it could be a vintage 'black box' recorder adding to what Garp said. There was one very similar on the HAMB recently and they identified it as a WW2 flight logger.

Well the address label for Techron on the box says Littlehampton, West Sussex, so that is correct

Doesn't bring back anything from the patent office on those two registered design numbers unfortunately.

If it is a punch clock why would the punch be on the back.

I am in Hove so South Coast makes much sense.

Next question why would a school have it?

it takes a casset of that tape stuff. which is then punched for some reason.

So it's not a work punch card thing.
