Historia
Arthur Mitchell (1929–2018) specialised in electrical horology. He joined the Antiquarian Horological Society in 1966 and upon the foundation of its Electrical Horology Group in 1970 became its first Secretary, a position he held until 1995, when he was elected an honorary member of the Society. During that time, he organised meetings and visits to collections and exhibitions, and published annual technical papers. In 1976-–77 he was a member of the organising committee for the “Electrifying Time” Exhibition held at the Science Museum. In 1997 he became the Society’s Librarian, remaining in post until November 2011. He was responsible for reviving the library, working on both cataloguing and new acquisitions. He was also a member of the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors in the USA from 1972.
He was employed by the Ministry of Defence as a draughtsman, working on various aspects of machinery control and installation procedures for warships and submarines.
