The US Army Air Force operated jointly with the RAF in the Allied Tactical Air Force from D-day onwards and used the sector method of plotting aircraft movements that was devised by the RAF. The American sector clock is similar in design to a US Navy bulkhead clock made by Seth Thomas. However, our clock has a wood surround (instead of the traditional Bakelite), with a face that has the same five-minute segments of an RAF sector clock. It was used in tracking the movements of enemy aircraft from information gathered from observers in the field and from mobile radars. The clock looks very different from a RAF sector clock but using the same sequence of colours (red, yellow and blue) used in the five-minute segments of each quarter of an hour.
RADIO CONTROLLED VERSION (R.C.):
The radio controlled mechanism fitted to this clock has a built in receiver which is tuned to the National Physical Laboratory which transmits from Anthorn in Cumbria.
The MSF signal is broadcast on a frequency of 60khz and is accurate to one second every 1000 years and is controlled by cesium atomic clocks. Automatically sets itself to British Summer/Wintertime so never needs adjustment (except for battery change)
* Takes one AA size battery (battery included)
* Automatically sets for Summer/Winter time
Note: Due to the clock receiving its signal from Cumbria, England this clock will not operate outside the UK

The US Army Air Force operated jointly with the RAF in the Allied Tactical Air Force from D-day onwards and used the sector method of plotting aircraft movements that was devised by the RAF. The American sector clock is similar in design to a US Navy bulkhead clock made by Seth Thomas. However, our clock has a black metal surround (instead of the traditional Bakelite), with a face that has the same five-minute segments of an RAF sector clock. It was used in tracking the movements of enemy aircraft from information gathered from observers in the field and from mobile radars. The clock looks very different from a RAF sector clock but using the same sequence of colours (red, yellow and blue) used in the five-minute segments of each quarter of an hour.
