University of Helsinki Undergraduate library would be an expert to answer your question. http://www.opiskelijakirjasto.lib.helsinki.fi/ugl/index.htm Ask A Librarian - The Online Reference Enquiry Service of Finnish Libraries is produced mostly by Finnish public libraries. Unfortunally Undergraduate library doesn't take part to this ask a librarian service.

Very little information about the clock could be found in books or in the internet. In the book Högström Hilkka: Helsingin rautatieasema - Helsinki railway station (ISBN 951-53-0533-0) is the following chapter:
"The Siemens-Schuckert electrical company installed the German clockwork for the Helsinki Railway Station tower. Originally the weights had to be cranked up daily by hand. The dial was made by a Finnish workshop (Oy Arvo Urho). In the 1930's, an electric rewinding apparatus was installed, and in 1980 the clock was coupled with a quart-controlled central mechanism.
...Over the years, travellers have liked to bet on the tower's dimensions. Its height from street level is 48.5 metres. The diameter of the dial is 3.3 metres; the…

After checking all the resources at our disposal, I regret to have to tell you that we could not find any more information than you already had. (The only web page mentioning Alfred Lunt's Finnish background was http://www.genealogia.fi/emi/art/lstar179e.htm )
There might still exist a slight possibility of finding out something through the Institute of Migration
(http://www.migrationinstitute.fi/index_e.html ). We recommend that you contact them.
The Helsinki City Library has published Values of library work in it's pages,
http://www.lib.hel.fi/page.asp?_item_id=2304 .
I suppose the same values concern the Reference Services, too. About the Ask a Librarian you can read some guidelines on our infomation page,
http://www.libraries.fi/en-gb/ask_librarian/about/ . Our main values are the same as usually in the libraries, specially i could name equality, confidentiality, and of course quality (relevant answers) and delivering the answer within the time rate, as quickly as possible.
For more information on finnish Digital Reference Services (Libraries), see http://www.kirjastot.fi/kirjastoala/verkkotietopalvelu/#suomalaisetkirj… .

Hello!
Finnish public libraries use genres when classifying adult fiction. Most used way is to separate few well known genres from the fiction stock. In Kallio branchlibrary we have separated crime (detective novels), horror, science fiction, fantasy, romance, war, humor and hunting (fishing & hunting)novels. Rest of the books are normally on the self, and e. g. translated literature and finnish literature are on the same shelf. Some libraries might use more genres e.g. Kuhmo library. It´s not common to classify the whole fiction stock.
Content description and subject indexing of novels helps in fiction retrieval.
