Lot 189
World War II RAF operations room sector wall clock, the twenty-four hour 14 inch circular cream and polychrome enamel sector dial with a RAF 'King's Crown' warrant officer's insignia to the centre, red, blue and yellow sector markings, circular stained mahogany case, the back stamped with crowned cypher GRVI and SMITH, 1942, 46cm diam Originally purchased from Aero Clocks, Doncaster Sector clocks were widely used during the Second World War to track enemy aircraft movements. As an enemy plane was spotted its' position was marked on a UK map using the British Modified Grid system laid out at a sector operations room, using a coloured disc matching the coloured segment on the clock dial as pointed to by the minute hand, each coloured sector representing five minutes. The discs were then repositioned on the map as further sightings came in, using a magnetic 'rake', which enabled the controllers to follow the progress and formation of each flight and work out its' possible target, This simple, but extremely effective, method of gaining the required information with speed allowed quick decisions to be made in the battle of the air.
