A programmer timer (10) having motor driven cams (61, 64, 62, 66) for operating electrical switching mechanisms (102, 116, 144, 138, 126). The motor comprises a pair of spaced stator plates (24, 26) with a coil (34) and permanent magnet rotor (36) therebetween, received in a walled chamber (28) in the timer housing. Motor reduction gears (44) drive a shaft (48) for driving the ratchet wheels (72, 68) and rotary cams. The motor, gear train cams and electrical switching mechanisms are contained in a single integral housing (12). Separate concentric fast and slow ratchet wheels (72, 68) are driven by a single eccentric driven pawl (14). The center of rotation of the eccentric is positioned so that drive pawl contacts the ratchet wheel at an angle at least 10. degree. greater than a tangent at the contact point, for all eccentric positions, to provide ratchet wheel advance in the event of reverse rotation of the eccentric. A bifurcated anti-reverse pawl (84) is biased against the fast and slow ratchet wheels by a spring arm (88) integral therewith.

A thermostat having a low force output, snap-acting thermally responsive bi-metal disc operative through a pushrod to move the blade of an SPDT switch at a pre-selected temperature. The switch has a cantilever blade formed of a unitary thin metal strip having a flexible stem with a first rigid tongue extending therefrom with a heavy current carrying moveable contact thereon for a normally closed contact set. The pushrod contacts the rigid first tongue for switch actuation. A second flexible tongue extends from the stem and has an integral low current normally open contact thereon for a contact set which is closed upon switch blade actuation. Upon further temperature rise, after switch actuation, pushrod over-travel on the first tongue is absorbed by resilient flexing of the stem and second tongue thereby providing a wiping action to the closed low current contact set.

A radio alarm converter is provided for energizing a radio in response to an alarm signal from a clock, which clock normally provides an alarm signal not usable for energizing said radio. The radio alarm converter comprises a signal conversion circuit coupled intermediate the radio and the clock and responsive to the alarm signal for delivering an energizing current to the radio.
