Yes a truck clock as mentioned in knirims book looks to be the same as in this photo, very little info about these. 20200710_091930.jpg

Thank you frontline 556. Does anyone have any idea as to the purpose of the orange and white “flag” that indicates the seconds? It seems the Germans had a specific purpose for most things and this indicator seems so much different than most.
Thank you

It is a tachograph clock. These clocks were produced by Kienzle from the 1940's well into the 1960's for use in trucks etc.
