Review (criteria)	Question You are calling this "ancient"; how old is it? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:52, 4 August 2021 (UTC)  Question Can the perspective be corrected? The clock face in the picture is oval, but it should be circular. -- Spurzem (talk) 07:28, 4 August 2021 (UTC)  Comment @Ikan Kekek: In 1907, Arthur Lambert, clockmaker and jeweler from Valenciennes in the North, patented a sheared card recorder. This factory time clock is dated about 1920. At the end of the great war, Arthur Lambert with his nephew M. Caron developed the mechanisms of time clocks. Best regards. --Pierre André (talk) 09:22, 4 August 2021 (UTC)  Comment @Spurzem:  Done correction of perspective .The clock face in the picture is now circular.. Best regards.--Pierre André (talk) 09:22, 4 August 2021 (UTC)  Comment 1907 may be "ancien" in French, but it's nowhere remotely close to "ancient" in English. Ancient would be maybe 1,500 years ago. We speak of ancient Greece, ancient Rome, ancient Egypt, ancient China and so forth, and most of the time, we're talking about times BC and maybe up to some point in the first millennium AD (like AD 500, maybe 600 or so). Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:29, 4 August 2021 (UTC)  Comment I misspoke the appropriate term would be "Old Lambert Time Recorder", so I am correcting, best regards. --Pierre André (talk) 09:42, 4 August 2021 (UTC)  Best in Scope -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:46, 8 August 2021 (UTC) Result: 1 support, 0 oppose => promoted.
