1. General - “Clock Unit GMT 34” is used to
distribute pulses from a master clock (Clock No. 36) to
telephone apparatus and clock systems. It should be
provided at offices where 30 second clock pulses and
one or more of the following facilities are required:-
(a) Pulses for the operation of 1 second
clocks.
(b) 1 second, 6 second or 30 second pulses
for telephone apparatus.
The unit is wired to Dgm. GMT 34 and the apparatus
layout is shown on Drg. No. 61080. Installation details
are given in B 3301.
2. Description - The unit is wired for a maximum

A battery jack for a headlamp is provided on the unit.
Where more than one unit is connected to a master
clock the additional battery jacks, if required, should be
wired in parallel with that in the original unit.
3. Additional apparatus - If the unit is required to
drive more than twenty 30 second pulse clocks, the
additional apparatus (see Dgm. GMT 34) should be
requisitioned separately and fitted locally. The unit is
equipped for 50 volt working but it can be used on other
voltages by changing resistors R2 and R3.
4. Accommodation - The unit is designed for wall
mounting in a horizontal position, and should be located
close to the master clock for convenience in wiring and
maintenance.
