I'm really intrigued about this pocket watch timer (see attachments) I suspect it was made pre 1880 due to the fact that it has the words "Fine Silver" on the inside of the case and that the Crown is in the sidewinder position. I'm thinking it may even date back to the 1860s? It has the...
It is actually a ground navigation timer not a bomb timer. When flying over the ground you would start the timer at a known landmark then stop it at another some distance away. You can determine your ground speed that way. I have two A 8's. One was my father in laws who was an aircraft navigator and retired as a ltcol from the Air Force.
Recently acquired an Elgin stopwatch I have never seen before. The way the dial is marked it for timing a 5 mile run at between 120 and 500 miles an hour ?? It reaches the 30 mark (times 10=300) on the dial in 1 minute which as it states on the dial if you did a 5 mile run in one minute you...

I just acquired another MEYLAN stopwatch at a small antique mall in Ferdinand, IN for five bucks, just seemed like to good of a deal to pass up. It was wound “tight” and did not want to tick, but I purchased it anyway as I thought to myself, “Self, since the American Olympic trials in swimming...
You have a Waltham Model 11609 , Type A, No. 105 timer stopwatch. The large hand measures seconds in 1 5 sec. increments and the small hand measures minutes up to 30 min. This is one of many stop watch variations made by Waltham. Info from Military Timepieces by Whitney. As to exactly what it was used for, no idea.
Depending on the who was doing the measurements, either a minute decimal stop watch, or a hour decimal stopwatch was used. As indicated on the dial yours is a hour decimal stopwatch: the dial is divided in 100 spaces each of which represents 0.0001 hours. Thus one complete revolution of the central hand corresponds to 0.01 hours, i.e. 36 seconds.
Get my hands on an early looking stopwatch, nickel plated case, a relatively small dial when compared to the case, no signatures found on the dial, the small subsidiary minute register dial can only record a maximum of ten minutes.(minute totalizer hand moves anticlockwise when activated)...
I have this 30 second Swiss timer that has Lean & Jones Inc. on the case and movement. Does anyone have an instruction manual or original box for such a watch? The plastic crystal has a blue tint to it, is this common. Thanks, Brad Maisto, KY Floral #44 Secretary P. S. Does anyone know about...
