Abstract
A switch programming mechanism is afforded by means of an endless switch chain. The switch chain is provided with switch riders or triggers serving as mechanical abutments for the actuation of the switch. The switch chain may be formed with tooth elements having truncated inner ends and being axially displaceable on their interconnection means relative to one another. The switch chain is particularly well suited for fitting within the confines of a ordinal-display switch clock and for controlling the operation thereof.
