While most Omega
timers were designed for making exposures, the Program Timer was
specifically for process timing. The molded dial had slots at 15 second
intervals into which small brass tabs were inserted, representing the end
of each step of a particular process. The interchangeable program discs
fitted into the dial and could be marked by the user to indicate the
proper tab positions for a process. By using a combination of different
discs and/or dials, the user was able to quickly change between processes.
The accessory outlet was used to control electrical devices such as an
agitator base.
