This is a DC power clock of the highest quality. The seconds beating invar pendulum pulls a trailing link that rotates a large gear with 15 teeth; that gear has a notch the allows a contact once every 30 seconds, actuating a solenoid that impulses the pendulum and also advances the minute hand a half minute. Gent were highly respected for the reliability of these timepieces and this one bears a label showing it was the property of Telephone Rentals. Everything is mechanically complete, and seems to actuate on 3v. We suggest you do research for the proper voltage. Height 52 inches
