They were wired to the master clock in the captain’s cabin, so every clock on board could be set together as the ship crossed a time zone. We have converted each one to run on a reliable AA battery-powered silent quartz movement. A small knob unscrews to open the clock face and reveal the mechanism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the radio dial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Radio rooms and bridges used clocks like this to show the mandatory radio silence periods. Operators on 2182 kHz kept a three-minute silence and listening watch twice an hour, at h+00 and h+30, shaded green on the dial. The old 500 kHz Morse frequency had its own silent periods at 15 and 45 minutes past, marked in red.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight: 21cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth: 21cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDepth: 9cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 1kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Kappa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57379466314101,"sku":"NHGreen1C","price":39.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0744\/7543\/8365\/files\/IMG-7241.webp?v=1790778153","url":"https:\/\/www.bananaindustries.co.uk\/products\/original-kappa-radio-dial-salvaged-ships-clock-original-green-2","provider":"bananaindustries","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
