A '''time flow analog''' was a device used by [[Gallifreyan]]s as a jamming signal. One could be cobbled together using various household objects.

After {{Delgado}} took control of [[TOMTIT]], the Doctor fashioned a time flow analogue out of things such as silverware, [[wine]] bottle corks, a corkscrew, napkin rings, an upturned ashtray, key fobs, a bodkin needle and an empty mug. This was used to temporarily impede the Master's continued abuse of the machine. The Master soon caught on that TOMTIT was being jammed and raised its power output, overloading the time flow analog. It fried the device with a pop of sparks and knocked the tea mug to the floor. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Time Monster (TV story)|The Time Monster]]'')

During a later plan by the Master, the [[Sixth Doctor]] creates a time-flow analog from old chairs, a hat stand and other items lying around a warehouse, this time using [[Stuart Hyde]]'s whiskey flask to complete the job. The ratios between the molecular bonds resonated with the time fields, creating a temporary safe path to [[the Master's TARDIS]].

[[Petronella Osgood]] made a time flow analog, which she had only attempted once before, to stop a [[Sirens of Time|Siren of Time]] from reanimating [[dinosaur]]s and [[human]] [[skeleton]]s. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Sacrifice of Jo Grant (audio story)|The Sacrifice of Jo Grant]]'')
