Clockwork movement incorporates mechanism with decimal division for measurement of time, presenting comparative and concomitant display on clock face with two scales of two types of time measurement

摘要

The clockwork movement incorporates a movement with decimal division for the measurement of time, presenting a comparative and concomitant display on a clock face with two scales of two types of time measurement. The indication of hours and kiloseconds is by means of a hand (19) on the two scale clock face (33). The hand is mounted on a conventional hour wheel with minute divisions which incorporates a mounting engaging with the minute wheel. The ratio between the number of revolutions of the hour wheel and that of the mounting is equal to 1/12. The hour and kilosecond hand crossses the sixty division scale (34) and ends up on the decimal scale (35). The mechanism divides the duration of the average solar day into 200 000 parts simultaneously with the division into 86 400 seconds of the average solar day. A set of hands used can be concentric or excentric to the movement indicating on the clock face with two types of scales the decimal division simultaneously with the division into 86 4000 seconds of the average solar day.
