No. A159407/53/C22(B), diameter 47cm. * Sector clocks were widely used during the Second World War to track enemy aircraft movements. As an enemy plane was spotted its' position was marked on a UK map using the British Modified Grid system laid out at a sector operations room, using a coloured disc matching the coloured segment on the clock dial as pointed to by the minute hand, each coloured sector representing five minutes. The discs were then repositioned on the map as further sightings came in, using a magnetic 'rake', which enabled the controllers to follow the progress and formation of each flight and work out its' possible target, This simple, but extremely effective, method of gaining the required information with speed allowed quick decisions to be made in the battle of the air.

He is at the Military Hospital of Maracay. He lost one leg and his motor skills. He belonged to the Tank Battalion “Pedro Leon Torres”…´ and further states `Those scribbles touched my soul and awake the dream and inflame rage. “The Tank Military spirit, full of bravery and abnegation !Will Never Die!, because it is the soldier´s own soul! And the soul is inmortal.´ Chavez concludes with a tribute to his correspondent `!!!Glory and Homeland to Jose Melero, one of the so many anonymous heroes of the 4F.!!´.
