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

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?

  • Yes we had one of those ticky clockwork jobs. A high tec thing in its day.

    Wind up clockwork gramaphone record players too with a lovely centrifugal govenor and an adjust lever, quite a masterpiece of mechanics. As kids we broke up quite a few old ones to watch the spring fly out. I wish I`d kept `em , probably worth a few quid these days. Do not get me started on warming up the telly to get the valves at optimum before watching special TV programmes. Oh bygone days
