Show Clock Dials for Summer. Instead of moving the hands of tho clock forward and back nt the time oC changing from standard to summer time, nnd vice versa, a plan recently proposed In England Is to have clocks provided with an adjustable dial. Tho circular disk of the dial would be put In place by screws In curved slots, and ' the dial would be rotated through one hour space nt the time of making tha change, leaving the hands untouched. It Is claimed that this plan Is especially especial-ly desirable In the case of striking-clocks, striking-clocks, the hands of which cannot bo moved back. The position of the dial would also indicate whether the clock i was keeping summer or normal time. The objection to this procedure, of course, is that practically everybody-tells everybody-tells time from position of the bands,! without any attention to the figures on the dial. |
