Electronic correction

Claim 1

Time-piece in which a time standard supplies signals of a predetermined frequency to a first sequence of bistable devices arranged and adapted to provide output signals of a desired frequency to a display arrangement in which at least ''''seconds'''' are displayed, wherein means are provided to set the seconds display through the supplying of additional output signals or the withholding of output signals, said means including a complement output terminal on at least one of the bistable devices in the first sequence, a bistable storage device arranged to be manually switchable to a first stable state and to be automatically restored to a second stable state by signals obtained from the complement output terminal, a display control toggle having an input arrangement which logically combines said output signals from the first sequence of bistable devices with signals from the bistable storage device, a delay circuit having a controllable disabling switch and receiving an input from a predetermined bistable device in the first sequence in order to provide an output adapted to block signal transmission from at least one bistable device in the first sequence; and a manually operable switch coupled to the bistable storage device and the delay circuit disabling switch, whereby actuation of the manually operable switch for a time period less than that of the delay circuit adds one signal to the seconds display and actuation of the manually operable switch for a greater time period adds one signal and thereafter blocks transmission of further signals to the seconds display for as long as the manually operable switch continues to be actuated.
