DEVICE MEASURING TIME Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: watch making industry. SUBSTANCE: device measuring time includes source of motion with constant mean speed proportional to passing of time and digital panel (counter) realizing formula of time. At least one position of digital panel is calibrated in units of length ensuring reading of time in units of length by realization of formula , where L₁ is distance passed with nondimensional unit (standard) speed of passing of time; C_st=1=l, equal to circumferential velocity of end of second hand. Device may have linear scale with length 2π (cm) or 10ⁿ, cm, where n=0, 1, 2 ..., calibrated in length units with indicator having standard linear speed C_st. EFFECT: improved functional precision. 10 cl, 4 dwg
