ticker

One who makes a tick mark.

A teacher now is a typist, a printer, a laboratory assistant, a designer of work sheets and booklets, a form-filler, a ticker of boxes and a sender of returns to faculty heads, to head teachers, to education authorities and to the Ministers […]

A measuring or reporting device, particularly one which makes a ticking sound as the measured events occur.

The ticker was showing an increased rate of flow.

A ticker tape, either the traditional paper kind or a scrolling message on a screen.

I checked the prices on the ticker one last time before placing the trade.

To my surprise, the ticker showed that the deal had already gone through.

A heart, especially a human one.

My ticker gave out and I had to go to the hospital for surgery.

A watch (timepiece).

A right nice ticker it was. Real gold.
