ABSTRACT:
A self-contained, clip-on engine operating time log comprises a case containing circuitry for monitoring the accumulated operating time of a spark ignition engine. A plastic sensor, rigidly extending from the case, has two semi-cylindrical channels for clipping the time log directly onto an ignition wire of the engine. The sensor and the circuitry detect spark impulses in the ignition wire for determining the operating time of the engine. A liquid crystal display, visible through a window of the case, digitally displays the accumulated operating time.
