Description

Time code generator by the Electronic Engineering Company of California, approximately measuring 19" x 7" x 18.5" and weighing 26 pounds, with the back featuring manufacturing plates from Electronic Engineering ("System 29421, Unit 1") and the James Knights Co. ("Model JKTO-PIP(S), Part No. 970-0800-0, Frequency 1 MC, Serial No. 11274-1"). The front features nine panels for four time sections related to Days, Hours, Minutes and Seconds, with a "RET / ADV" dial to left, and a hidden control compartment containing various setting switches. The back section features plug-in circuit cards that contain core memory units, as well as numerous plugged-in computer logic modules, all of which should be of great interest to early computer collectors. Electronic Engineering Company of California (EECO) was a major supplier of Time Code Generators and Timing Systems for government and scientific purposes, and in 1966 adapted that technology to time code for Television.
