No, no 'remembering' required. When you apply power, the clock motor winds
the mechanism up to the preset stop. When the power goes off, the spring
unwinds until the switch actuates. Fully automatic.

Also, the http://www.automatictiming.com product is far too complex. The
ones I remember look like a small kitchen timer mounted on a bracket, and
usually have a center screw to loosen to set the delay. Wish I could find a
picture/web page.
