Economy 7 Time Clocks 40/50 years ago...

AncientMariner
To help resolve a query in the Ask The Community Forum, why did the time clock for Economy 7 and similar supplies with two meters and  a full load time clock switch (no contactor), tick?

Were they an auto-rewind clockwork time clock so as to keep in time during/following a power cut?

    I believe that some early ones were 'spring reserve'


    They were and lasted about three days, so there were cases where the occupier pulled the fuse and did without electric till the clock off peak time was shifted to daytime................... Especially in that era when it was about 40% of the normal rate.
