The front panel in the base is hinged and lockable.The 288 mm diameter brass dial is painted off-white, it is laid out in a regulator style with concentric Arabic five-minute numerals outside a minute-track, and observatory marks at five-minute intervals. The subsidiary seconds dial above the centre has Arabic ten-second numerals inside a seconds track with observatory marks at five-second intervals. The subsidiary hour dial below the centre has Arabic zero to 23-hour numerals within a circle. The winding aperture is at the 42-minute position, 63 mm from the dial centre. There are three apertures in the dial for observing the adjustment of electrical contacts on the movement.Edward John Dent & Co.
