Abstract[English]
A clock dial and method wherein the clock dial is provided with seventy-two twenty-minute indices and eighteen eighty-minute graduations, which are traversed by a single Part-indicating pointer once every 1,440-minutes; and can be used to approximately determine varying divisions of night and day, twelve months, and four seasons in a 364-day year. The seventy-two, indices are evenly spaced at 5-degree intervals on the periphery of the display. In each eighty-minute, twenty-degree Part, there are four indices, however the first index always falls on the main 20-degree part lines. In operation, a single pointer started at the first index at sunset will indicate the varying divisions of night and day when driven by a clock movement with a speed of 0.25 degrees per minute.[French]
Cadran d'horloge et procédé, le cadran d'horloge étant pourvu de soixante-douze indices de vingt minutes et de dix-huit graduations de quatre-vingt minutes, qui sont traversés par une seule trotteuse indicatrice de partie une fois toutes les 1 440 minutes ; et pouvant être utilisé pour déterminer approximativement des divisions variables de nuit et de jour, douze mois et quatre saisons dans une année de 364 jours. Les soixante-douze indices sont espacés régulièrement à des intervalles de 5 degrés sur la périphérie du dispositif d'affichage. Dans chaque partie de quatre-vingt minutes, vingt degrés, il existe quatre indices, cependant le premier indice tombe toujours sur les lignes principales de la partie de 20 degrés. En fonctionnement, une seule trotteuse lancée au niveau du premier indice au coucher du soleil indiquera les divisions variables de nuit et de jour lorsqu'elle est entraînée par un mouvement d'horloge ayant une vitesse de 0,25 degrés par minute.
