AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Until well into the previous century, this type of time clocks was used, for example in schools to announce the end of a class period. But in factories these clocks were also used for start and end times and breaks.
The time clocks have a large wheel on which the desired time could be set with pins. This wheel turns and at the set time a switch is activated.

This time clock has a handsome wooden case. The glass in the door has a few scratches. On the wheel the times can be set in quarter-hour increments. Furthermore one could choose a short or a long signal. It is not known whether this function still works.

The movement is wound with a key. At the bottom of the case there is an adjustment plate for the pendulum. The clock runs well.

The lot can be collected in Almere. Shipping is carefully packed and sent by registered mail.
