A timer is a specialized type of clock. A timer can be used to control the sequence of an event or process. Timers can be mechanical, electromechanical, digital, or even software, since most computers have clocks.

Mechanical Timers


Early mechanical timers used typical clockwork mechanisms, such as an escapement and spring to regulate their speed. Inaccurate, cheap mechanisms use a flat beater that spins against air resistance. Mechanical egg-timers are usually of this type.
