General Time Corp 'Filmstrip'-style clock movement, new old stock with minor shelf wear. This device is a four-digit clock module that uses plastic film belts to display numbers. The device uses three belts, a single 12 position belt displays the hours positions, while two single digit belts display the two numbers in the minutes position. A small numbered wheel displays seconds and rotates continuously when the clock is in operation, the minutes and hours change position over a five second period immediately after the seconds wheel rolls over to zero. The module includes an alarm function, which closes a set of contacts when the alarm is tripped. Two thumbwheels on the front of the device control the setting of the time and alarm. This module is powered by an attached 120VAC synchronous motor, and can be connected directly to a 120 volt wall outlet. The filmstrip display belts have translucent numbers and can be backlit by LED's, as this photo illustrates.
