To operate this, set alarm key as
shown in diagram. after two turns have
been made on the key. When alarm
goes off. 1t turns till it forms a connec-
ton by striking the contact post and
starts the electric bell ringing. Throw
lever off from the right to center, which
stops bell ringing. The bell is then
cut out, but the light remains on till
lever is again thrown in the center.
In placing clock on shelf. after set
ting alarm. be sure that the legs OF
CLOCK are on the brass strip, and that
the alarm key is in position so it will
come in contact with the contact post
in back of clock. The contact post
may be of quarterinch copper tubing
or quarter-inch brass rod.
The advantage of this is that one can
control the bell and light, while lying
in bed. by having the switch on the
Dashboard. near the bed, so il can be
reached without getting out of bed
