Railway station clock / slave clock by Telefonbau und Normalzeit is held by Roscheider Hof Open Air Museum. Museum description: These clocks are so-called slave clocks, which were controlled by a master clock, often referred to as a primary clock or mother clock.
Every minute, the slave clocks received a (pole-reversing) direct-current pulse from the master clock, which moved the minute hand forward. The hour hand was moved, as is usual with old clocks, by a gear with 60 divisions. This type of clock can still be found at train stations today.
