Hi all
A friend of mine offered me a secondary electric clock that was in use
at Observatoire Royal de Belgique, in Brussels, at the end of the 19th
century.
The manufacturer is Peyer Favarger & Co, Neuchatel, Switzerland.
I'm wondering why the largest hand is used for minutes, and the smaller
hands for hours and seconds
Any idea ?
