I found this interesting clock in a thrift store. It's clearly made to be mounted in the dashboard of some kind of vehicle. The markings appear to be in Russian. Can anyone tell me what they mean? The character hidden behind the hands of the smaller clock face at the top is the same pi-like character that appears between the O and the E shortly afterward.

Top dial is barometer and bottom dial is sec for seconds.
Or if I had to take a guess... 
Seriously, not sure about the top dial.

Chit, doubt it's a barometer, wouldn't make sense.

Nope. It's definitely not a barometer. The the state that the clock is in now, the upper dial doesn't run. If I push the red button/knob on the left, the white sqaure in the lower part of the upper dial turns red, and the upper dial begins running like a regular clock, with a minute hand and an hour hand (no second hand). If I press it again, it stops, and the square is half red, half white. If I press it again, the square goes white again, and both upper-dial hands reset to zero.

Nope. It measures minutes ?? thirty minutes to go around the dial. There doesn't appear to be any way to ??set? this dial.
As for remaining controls:
Red knob/button on left:- Pushing it affects the upper dial as described above.
- Turning it counterclockwise winds the clock. (This is a stone-age spring-driven clock.)
- Pulling it, and then turning, sets main clock dial, just as the winding knob does on most stone-age watches.
Knob on right:- Turn it clockwise, and the main clock stops.
- Turn it counterclockwise, and the main clock starts running again.
- Press it, and the main clock stops; press it again, and the second hand goes to zero; press it a third time, and the main clock begins running again.

I think it is used for aircraft altitude but that is just a guess.

The problem with America is stupidity.
I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment
for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety
labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

amateures, sit down before you hurt yourself... top dial: "time of flight" -- it just measures hours. bottom dial is seconds. the rest is a regular clock. the gray print in the middle of the main dial says 2 - days
