PULSYNETIC PROGRAMMABLE IMPULSE TIMER, BELL RINGER. GENTS OF LEICESTER, CIRCA SECOND THIRD 20TH CENTURY.

Adjustable programmer for “Pulsynetic” watches, striking. Gent's of Leicester, England, circa second third of the 20th century. Good general condition The wooden drawer with a glass front protects the machinery of the piece and allows you to see the different “wheels” and spheres of the mechanism. This serves to, in certain electrical impulse clocks, coordinate all the slaves that are linked to the master so that the bell ringing sounds at the same time in all the components of the system. Apparently, and due to 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, GTGent & Co. being one of the first to make electric chimes in England. After several changes, the company changed its name to Gent & Co., and, shortly after, AEJ Ball joined and began producing an electric watch system, later known as “Pul-syn-etic”. Weight: 15kg.
