COMPLETE DIRECTIONS FOLLOW

Place your clock upright on a sturdy table. Open protective cover on back of clock. Connect socket of cord to the two terminal projectors on the back plate of the clock and plug power cord into any conventional 110-volt, 60-cycle AC outlet.

Set your local time on lower left clock dial as you would an ordinary electric clock by rotating brass knob on the clock motor (7). You are now ready to set the individual discs comprising the large Space Dial.

One thing to remember is that in the gear train a small amount of backlash or play has been purposely provided. For proper setting eliminate this backlash by making the last motion a slight counter- clockwise rotation.

The Star and Calendar Disc (E) is set first. Before proceeding, however, look at the five separate discs shown in exploded view, and their relation to one another. Each disc has a letter for identification
purposes.
