Deprez-style Time-mark signal marker

(Zeitmarke-Deprez-Signal)
Description: This is a device that is attached to a kymograph to mark the occurrence of switch-initiated voltage pulses with high accuracy. It was invented by a French engineer named Deprez. It is usually a pair of electromagnets which can be used to move a marker up or down. This can be used in connection with a metronome to create a regular time signal.
