<p>[QUOTE=&quot;springfld.arsenal, post: 161488, member: 54&quot;]&quot;Day clocks in the British Navy were able to be set from 1 to 44 days and a laid mine did not become active until the required number of days passed. Mines were laid using a mixed bag of settings so as to make minesweeping as difficult as possible.&quot;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m guessing the clock pictured wasn&#039;t a day clock that went inside of a mine as mentioned above.&nbsp; But it was used aboard mine-warfare ships or shore stations to warn people when a given minefield had become active because the day clocks in the mines had reached their activation dates.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
