Abstract

The display makes use of the alignment of respective radial lines extending on two or more co-axially aligned discs (26, 28) in which the number of lines on each disc is differ-ent such that only one line of one of the discs can be aligned with anyone of the lines of the other of the discs at a single point in time. Rotation of the discs relative to each other causes the alignment of the lines of respective discs to rotate about the co-axis and when the discs are relatively rotated according to the passage of time, the alignment provides an indication of that time.
