It runs at an amazing 40 beats per second and maked a buzzing sound that gave it the nickname "Jitterbug" The dial makes a smooth sweep every 10 seconds, and an accumulator dial is marked 1-5 on the inside and 6-10 on the outside of the dial for very precise timing of ordnance up to 10 minutes. Original case and original un-restored dial.
