Mahogany case with (wood? usually matched satinwood, but not in this case) ornamental front and top panels and statuary bronze escutcheon plate. Recessed portion of escutcheon is painted cream color. This paint appears original and is also unusual for this model. Three drum type dials indicate hours and minutes. The recessed lever on back panel is to reset power loss indicator on dial.
I think Edgar Bourquin designed all of these cyclometers. This one was patent given number D108 586 on February 22, 1938. They sold 6,452 units according to company records.
