Abstract

A circuit arrangement for an electric clock comprises an oscillator stage, frequency divider stages, pulse shaper stages and two output stages for controlling the drive, switch means being provided which is operable to disconnect at least part of the oscillator stage and the two output stages from a voltage source so as to stop the oscillator and prevent the output stages from driving a drive motor.
