Here is the American Guide Series entry discussing the clock:
"In the center of the park rises a tall, obelisk-shaped clock tower. In place of numerals on the four faces of the clock dial, the i2-letter name of Daytona Beach is spelled out. Residents often give an alphabetical rendition of the time, saying: 'It is H after Y, J instead of the conventional, '25 minutes after 12.'"
