1960's era electical timer relay technology

[un421ate1]

Have a memory of a timer relay device that consisted of a synchronous motor and a clutch with associated contacts, believe it was manufactured by a company called King of Prussia,(that being the only name stamped on the timer)the device measured about 5 inches X 5 inches X 4 inches and had a dial on the top for altering timing cycles. I can find no technical on-line information, any help appreciated. Need it for retro-fit application.
many thanks in advance.

I searched for images of time delay relays, found a big one from Agastat, a name I remember. Agastat products are now made by TE Connections, apparently a pseudonym for Tyco Electronics, in Berwyn PA, only 8 miles from King of Prussia PA.

King of Prussia is a place in PA, not the brand. I remember seeing that type of device and I think that brand was ATC and its what is called a percentage timer.
this random pdf shows a similar device Link

Yes, ATC was/is based in King of Prussia, PA. They likely still make those timers.

I am a proud visitor to King of Prussia. Just sayin'

Agastat time relays still exist in dieselelectric locomotives. And I think that the spare parts are available in Sweden. At least, those locomotives are maintained nearby.

I have a stack of those made in Japan. They have a motor, a clutch and a switch. Deep in storage though.

I have loads of them in 1970s-vintage switchgear. Unfortunately they are running the place that pays my bills, so none going surplus!
