Abstract

A program plate for a timer with setting means preferably arranged about the circumference of the program plate for the determination of a switching program, wherein the program plate is rotatably connected with a clockwork drive mechanism for operation of the program plate. An additional time display is operable through a further drive mechanism, which evidences a higher timewise resolution than the program plate, and which is integrated into the program plate. Within the circumferential surface area of the program plate, there is rotatably supported a preferably centrally positioned display disc for the higher resolved or defined time display, in which the further drive is supported within the program plate, and wherein the display disc is actuated by the further drive by means of the differential speed between the program plate and a housing component of the clockwork mechanism.
