Germany and is:fitted as Original equipment on a number of German makes of vehicle, When the flasher unit is energized the indicator lamps are lit and an electro-magnetic coil acts on a piston inside a cylinder. The exhaust of the air, inside the cylinder is restricted by a valve and the setting of this valve controls the movement of the piston. When the piston has reached the end of its stroke it operates a microswitch and this switches off the current to the magnetic coil and the indicator-lamps. A return spring brings the piston -into its original position, the time taken being controlled by another air valve. Another Micro-switch is energized when the piston is back in its original position and the cycle starts again and is continued until the unit is switched off.
