Timer in a box

[Antoon]

Who knows this devise? Is it factory made or home made?

It is around 175 mm x 175 mm, 115 mm high.

Its the same clock used for gas street lamps by Horstmann, Newbridge of Bath. https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/vintage-horstmann-gear-co-newbridge-1774939687

As BMG50 says, the timer is from a gas street light, the box is a battery box from a signalling lamp .

Have a look at this thread, this type of switch was used by the military.

I have been trying to post a sketch of the switch but for some reason can not upload it.

Thanks to you all

So this is a improvised item. A military battery box from a signal lamp with a street light timer.
