PONTIAC ELECTRIC CLOCK
The Pontiac electric clock
in
your car
operates on
direct
current
from
the
car
battery. Because
electricity
is the
source of
power in
the
operation of the
clock in your
car, as well as the
common
house-
hold
electric
clock, many
people
assume that they are
similar
in
their functioning as time-pieces.
With the automobile clock, due to its direct
current drive,
any
error
in time
keeping,
the
same
as any
pocket
watch,
is
accumu-
lative;
that is,
each
day's
error is
added to the pre'lious day's. For
this reason, it is necessary to reset your
automobile
clock the
same
as
you
do your
watch in
order
to provide
satisfactory time
keeping.
Although
every
Pontiac
Clock
is
carefully
regulated
by the manu-
facturer before leaving
the
factory, its operation is
affected by the
operating characteristics of
the
car
in which
it
is
installed.
It
is possible that your
clock
may require further
regulation
adjust-
ment
to
adapt it
to your
car. If your clock shows a
consistent ten-
dency
to
gain or
lose time, making the
periods of resetting
too
frequent to
provide satisfactory time
keeping, then adjustment
should be made with
the
"regulator"
provided, according to in-
structions
under "Regulating
Your
Pontiac
Electric Clock"
.
REGULATING YOUR 1952 CLOCK-
The regulator screw is
located at the
top
of
the
bezel. If
the
clock is running consistently slow
turn
the regulator
by inserting a
small screw driver in the
slot
and
turn towards
(F)
or
to the
right.
If running
fast
turn
towards
(5)
or to
the
left.
Approximately
a
quarter
turn
of the
regulator
adjusting
screw
is equivalent
to about
five
minutes,
gain or loss, per day.
It
is suggested
after
making an
adjustment
that the
clock be
allowed
to
run for
approximately
one week
at
which
time
it
should
be checked
and
readjusted if necessary.
TO RESET THE CLOCK-
Pull out on
reset
stem
to engaged posi-
tion and turn
hands to
correct
time and
release
stem.
It is well to
push in on stem at
time it
is released to make certain
that
it fully
disengages.
TO START THE CLOCK-
Resetting the hands will automatically
start
the
clock.
