- Description
- A grey, metal, interval timer for use in darkroom photo-processing. The face of the timer is square and off-white in colour, with black text and detailing. The numbers “0”, “5”, “10”, “15”, “20”, “25” are denoted around the circumference of the timer-face. Between the “0” and the “5”, there is an arrow pointing in the clockwise direction. A small piece of white triangular tape has been affixed to the face of the timer at the 2-minute mark. In the center of the timer-face is a black, metal mechanism and pointer with three knobs – one of which contains the text “LIFT UP” engraved into it. A small piece of white triangular tape has also been affixed to the tip of the pointer. Beneath this mechanism on the face of the timer is the text “MADE IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR EASTMAN KODAK COMPANY. ROCHESTER, NEW YORK”. The words “EASTMAN” “INTERVAL” “TIMER” “MODEL-B” also appears on an angle in each corner of the timer-face.On the back of the timer, there are two sets of three triangularly oriented vents on the viewer left and right sides; and there is a hole in the centre of the viewer-top so that the timer could be hung on a wall if desired. In the centre of the back face, there is text that has been engraved into the metal which reads: “PATENTS APPLIED FOR”. Beneath this, there is a silver, oval sticker with a black border and black text that reads: “SOLE IMPORTER INTO CANADA CANADIAN KODAK CO., LIMITED TORONTO” On the bottom of the timer’s base, there is raised text that reads “4414”; above this, there is a raised logo containing the text, “DOEHLER” within it. There is also an “X” that has been drawn onto the view-left side with pencil.
