street lighting control. Other exhibits include various Sangamo street lighting
psot boxes and a range of Illumination Meters from Weston. - Public Lighting #10, 1938 and APLE Conference Programme 1938
The type SSC (SS in the adverts) Solar Dial synchronous switch is described. The main features
of the switch are the Solar Dial which settings can be made up to
three-quarters of an hour either side of sunrise or sunset, the Day

day or days of the week, and the External Manual Operation by means
of which the switch may be externally operating by hand
without disturbing the sequence of operations. Solar Dials are
supplied for four different latitude ranges: 50°
52° 54° and 56°. - APLE Conference Programme 1939

The time switches are of the synchronous motor-driven type. The "SS" switches are enclosed
in bakelite cases and are of the plug-in type, the bakelite base forming the plug receptacle.
Various weatherproof post mounting boxes are available for use with these switches. The switches
are fitted with a standard 24-hour dial, with a solar dial for operating at times of sunrise
and sunset, or with a 1-hour dial. All switches are supplied as single pole, single throw types
and the 24-hour and solar switches are also available with single pole, double throw, changeover
contacts. The day omitting device, when fitted, enables the operations to be cut
out on any predetermined day or days of the week. - APLE Conference Programme 1946
