Abstract
Bicomponent graphics are provided for digital time displays that display the last remaining minute before commencement of a next hour, comprising a flashing zero digit and simultaneously displayed horizontal lines indicative of successive positions that will be traversed by the flashing zero digit in ten-second increments during the last 59 seconds. Such graphics portray an analog of the pathway that the flashing zero digit will follow from farthest to closest positions on the left side of the next hour until the commencement thereof. Digital countdown of the corresponding 59 seconds in coordinated decile segments may be included for greater precision.
