While IBM has always been well known for its computers, the company also engaged in a variety of other information-handling businesses over the years. One such field was time equipment of various kinds, including simple time stamps, networks consisting of a master clock and multiple secondary clocks in offices and schools and giant clocks mounted high above the street in the towers and facades of buildings. Less known to many IBM customers was the company's line of electric scoreboards, one type of which is featured in this advertisement published in the January 1949 edition of Signs Of The Times and the February 1949 edition of Athletic Journal. IBM exited the time equipment business in 1958 when it sold the Time Equipment Division to the Simplex Time Recorder Company.
