The purpose of these clocks is to record that a night watchman carried out his rounds at the required intervals (rather than sleeping!).

The night watchman would use these to punch a tell tale mark on the recording disc showing the time he visited each station. The clock would be unlocked each day to be wound and have the disc changed ready for the next night.
