ETS as it is more commonly known is an abbreviation
for "Electronic Timing System" and is fast becoming the
accepted modern method for pigeon fanciers to record and
clock their racing pigeons returning from a training
toss or from a club, federation or one loft race. |

Up until a few years ago, before ETS clocks were
introduced, but still in use in clubs today,
pigeons that are sent to a race are tagged with a rubber
band on their leg at the clubs marking station. When the
fanciers pigeon returns from the race point to the loft
the rubber band is removed , inserted into a small
plastic thimble and then put into a drum at the top, inside of the timing clock. |
| |
|
The fancier then rotates the clock key,
the thimble disappears inside the clock
and the time of arrival is stamped onto
a paper roll inside the clock. |
