> It appears one has to read timer.el to find out how timers work at a lower level. Or did I miss something?

No, the real story of how timers work is in process.c.  See the
function wait_reading_process_output there, which runs the timers via
the call to timer_check around line 4444; time_check and its
subroutines are in keyboard.c.

timer.el is just the Lisp interface to that code, used to create,
delete, and manage timer objects.
