Automatic Hours Meter? What is this?

I picked up a BSR 810 recently. Solid table. It even has what appears to be an hours meter. Although I can't find this feature on any of the tables I see in the net.

Anybody ever see this and can tell me how it works?

I guess you can reverse the current, honestly not sure. I don't know those things in quite that much detail, I only recognized it as an hour meter that uses electricity to do a chemical thing rather than the usual motor and a bunch of gears setup.


Its probably motor run time, which should be very close to stylus use time.
 
According to the Wiki article, it should be reversable. No longer available for obvious reasons. Is the unit factory, or did somebody stick it on later?
 
I have a Pickering- marketed hour-meter just like that. It works on D.C. so it is correct that the tube assembly on this may unplug and reverse.
Have fixed a few Miracords with same timer installed in factory.
Yours might actually have a battery hidden somewhere.
