The long" arm connects to a gas cock which feeds a small gas opening behind the milk glass translucent dial. The dial can be read all night with a small gas flame. By day the arm is used as a tripod to rest the clock on a shelf or table. This clock is almost identical to the one pictured in, "A Treasury of American Clocks", by Brooks Palmer, page 264.
