Cylindrical Perpetual Calendar by Park Sherman, 1950s

Mr. Langley adjusted his tie, tapped the cigar ash from his tray, and reached for the small brass knob on his desk calendar. With a smooth turn, the numbers clicked into place��March 18. Another day, another deal to close.

It had been a gift from his first secretary, a woman with a sharp tongue and an even sharper memory. ��So you don��t forget your appointments,�� she��d said, sliding it across his desk with a smirk.

No batteries, no noise��just a quiet, steady reminder that time waits for no one.
