Hillers sprechende Uhr, um 1912
Der Berliner Konstrukteur Bernhard Hiller baute diese Zeitansage-Uhr, die mit einem Phonographen-ähnlichen Mechanismus ausgerüstet war, über den ein 50 mm breiter Zelluloidstreifen mit vertikaler Tonspur lief. Darauf waren alle 48 Viertelstunden (von 0 bis 12 Uhr) verzeichnet, welche vom Tonkopf abgelesen und über einen kleinen Trichter angesagt wurden. Die Zeitansage erfolgte auf Deutsch. Für den Export gab es Streifen in Fremdsprachen. Auf Wunsch (z.B. für "Langschläfer") konnte die Zeitansage mehrere Male wiederholt werden. Ohne Band. Uhrwerk funktioniert, mit Kurbel und Schlüssel. - Literatur: D. Marty, "Grammophone", 1981, S. 170. - Interessantes Sammlungsstück.
