The unit works by energising an electromagnet which pulls a stylus down onto a carbon disc and thence through to paper tape. The

unit produces 50 dots per second and from the resulting pattern the velocity of the tape may be calculated. The standard ticker tape

timer operates from 6V ac and derives its timing from a half wave rectified signal. The universal unit operates from 6V ac or 12V dc.

The timing signal is produced electronically within the unit.
