the apparatus among other things
has a scoring section with range
of 0 TO 80. All the official in
charge has 20 do is press a button
and a goal is flashed Immediately.
Atop the big board is clock
which gives the correct time of the
day to the minute, so fans who
must make a train or an airplane
have no excuse If they're late. In
the center of the bottom portion
lis the event timer, a unit which
times such sports as boxing, wres-
ting and basketball as well as
hockey.
For hockey the clock is geared
to a Commute period. The second
hand takes one minute to make
the circuit, the other 20 minutes,
the length of a period. The clock
is stopped Immediately when time
is out. At the end of the period the
clock stops automatically, sounds a
horn and flashes a light at each
goal, the latter for the benefit of
the officials.
TWO PENALTY TIMERS
At both sides of the event clock
are the penalty timers. one for the
visiting team and one for the home
team. Either a two or five-minute
penalty may be timed on both

switch of players as the end of q
penalty nears. Fans also get a big
kick out of following the progress
of the hand on the penalty timer.
For boxing the gear ratio of the
timing dial is changed TO a four
minute period-three minutes for
the duration of round and one
minute for the intermisSion or rest
period. AS the operator turns the
clock TO start a bout the gong
automatically sounds. 1t is heard
again at the end of each round.
Ten seconds before the start OF
each round horn blasts and then,
10 seconds later, the bell starting
the round is heard.
