During the 1950s, and 1960s, Haydon became interested in clock systems and the counter (digital).
Haydon wanted to produce a novel type of counter specifically designed to overcome the difficulties encountered in a pinion mechanism.
In 1959 Haydon designed a "Transfer Counter" U.S. Patent No.
3,069,083.
 It incorporated an Epicyclic gearing mechanism for advancing the digits so the driving torque is extremely low and uniform.
The digits transfer instantaneously and align themselves more accurately providing the  capability of high speed counting beyond the range of pinion type counters.

Haydon also developed improvements to timing and clock systems with various patents such as the "Open Face Clock"  US Patent #2,976,674.
Haydon also designed and created improvements to the popular Alarm Clock "Radio" with patents such as US Patent #2,999,928.
As well as improvements to the Alarm Buzzer for Clocks
.

In 1972, Haydon designed and patented large clock systems used in schools, libraries, factories and other large properties that relied on time and clock systems.
Haydon secured a patent for Clock Systems with US Patent # 3,643,420.

Haydon also patented numerous improvements to clocks systems such as an apparatus used for setting clocks ahead or behind by one hour for Daylight saving time with Patent 3,897,700
