Description
The first “RELIANCE” time switch was an eight-day, spring-wound clock-operated switch that would automatically control lighting for apartment houses, store windows and electric signs on a daily schedule. The growing electrical industry found more and more applications for Reliance time switches and the company expanded rapidly.In 1923 Reliance introduced the “ACE” self-winding time switch. This remarkable design incorporated an electric motor that would actually wind the clock spring automatically. This was the first Reliance time switch that did not have to be wound on a weekly basis.In 1969 Reliance introduced the compact and rugged Series 500 time switches. The Series 500 has been used on billboards, water heaters, lighting and any place electrical power needs to be controlled on a daily schedule. Today the Series 500 is the quality standard for the industry.
