a. a first indicator wheel comprising a first set of readable event indicators on one face and a second indicator wheel comprising a second set of readable event indicators on one face, the first and second set of indicators together or individually providing readable information concerning a current event status;
b. an actuator that causes the first wheel to move upon an occurrence of each registerable event such that an indicator in the first set of indicators reflecting the current event status changes to reflect the occurrence of the event;
c. a first positioning element and a second positioning element; and
d. a first repositionable engagement unit and a second repositionable engagement unit, the first repositionable engagement unit engaging the second indicator wheel until the first repositionable engagement unit comes in contact with the first positioning element and the second repositionable engagement unit only engaging the second wheel when the second repositionable engagement unit engages the second positioning element;
wherein, upon a set number of events, the first positioning element repositions the first repositionable engagement unit to release the second wheel, and substantially simultaneously, the second positioning element engages the second repositionable engagement unit to cause the second wheel to rotate to a position such that the indicator in the second set of indicators changes.
