The scale of the factory was such that it sprawled over 46 acres with two main production halls 250 metres long, and 16 metres wide, plus a clock tower rising to 61 metres embellished with the company logo. Within the complex 11,000 people worked.
The dimensions of the clock face made it the largest such clock in the entire world when completed.
During the Clydebank Blitz of 1941 the factory was damaged by incendiary bombs, with the clock tower in particular receiving damage. It however survived until eventual demolition in 1963.
