Electric Scoreboard Is Set by Remote Control (Feb, 1941)

Electric Scoreboard Is Set by Remote Control

Remotely operated from the timekeeper’s desk, an electric scoreboard for basketball and other gymnasium games shows the score, time left to play in minutes and seconds, and the quarter being played. The clock can be set from the control desk to time the game, or readjusted for overtime periods or errors in starting. Illuminated numbers are automatically displayed when the score is recorded at the control desk. There is also a built-in signaling horn.
