The link to Siemens came from Companies House searches on the name.
They reference the link to Siemens and mention Christchurch as a base
(however that could just have been a registered office for accounting
purposes and not the engineering / production location).

I have several model 100 units and was just about to put one in a timing
rack at the museum.

Does anyone have a service manual or any information on the
Europeanlectronics Systems (EES) Radio Clock Model 100.
The company was part of Siemens but closed down in 2005.
The Model 100 was supplied by Plessey Defence Systems to the UK
military.
Some models could be GPS disciplined
Any information would be gratefully received for the Radio Communication

Museum of Great Britain.
(thanks to Robert with the hint about plain text !!)

Now there's interesting!

With EES being quite a small outfit based in Maldon, Essex, or so I
thought, I'm surprised to hear they were ever part of Siemens, are you
sure about
that?

For some reason I thought they eventually became part of Radiocode
Clocks,
although I could well be wrong on that also, something not entirely
unheard of :-), but do seem to recall several mergers etc amongst the
various UK
off air standards outfits.

I've got a few EES MSF and Droitwich clocks, including the earlier
SFR060A
and SFR200B, plus a 201 at the top of one of my racks in constant use,
but
despite having some EES documentation I never did find much on the model

With half a dozen or so of the GPS conditioned versions of the model 100

sitting in my garage I would also welcome some documentation. My notes
made
several years ago seem to have disappeared but I do remember being
convinced that the GPS option was very much an aftermarket afterthought,
for that
read bodge:-), based on a retrofit Motorola Oncore if I remember
correctly,
and not really something to get very excited about.
