Decorative Antiques -
Reference: ZF0741
Adjustable programmer for “Pulsynetic” watches, chiming. Gent's of Leicester, England, circa second third of the 20th century. Good overall condition. The glass-fronted wooden box protects the mechanism and allows the various “wheels” and dials of the mechanism to be seen. In certain electrically-driven clocks, this box is used to coordinate all the slaves connected to the master so that the chime of bells rings simultaneously on all the components of the system. Apparently, and because of the reliability of the system, it has often been used in British schools and similar institutions. The company that created the mechanism was founded in 1872 by John Thomas Gent, and GTGent & Co. was one of the first to make electric chimes in England. After several changes, the company changed its name to Gent & Co., and was soon joined by AEJ Ball and began producing an electric clock system, later known as “Pul-syn-etic”. Weight: 15 kg.
