Other Components of the Synchronome System

These are found in huge numbers as most Synchronomes were used to distribute the time they indicated to many slaves spread round the factory or offices in which they were installed. Only a few samples are shown here.

Wall dials and a rare Mantel or Boardroom clock.

External dials for turrets, churches or Offices.

The program Controller widely used

This controller usually has a built in Duration Reducer limiting the sounding of bells etc. to approximately 10-12 seconds as 30 seconds was often found to be too long. An Automatic Week-end Silencer can also be provided and a mercury tube contact to carry 5 mps at 230-250 volts is a standard fitment.

An Automatic Bell Controller from an earlier catalogue.

An Automatic Time Switch (also from an early catalogue). The function is to control secondary circuits such as the lighting of public bracket clocks etc. at pre-arranged times. The contacts are substantial and intended to handle currents at up to 250 volts.
