I'm dying to see the details of that escapement!!! Let us know if you get a
.dat done of just that! I started a clock, and gave up after realizing I'd
never get the efficiency I needed using an axle-sprocket based
escapement.... You are a genius to put the old 42 tooth gears to work.
28 hours!!! That's got to be a lego record. How's the accuracy?
Bravo! I'm writing santa now to let him know I want the .dat file for this
clock :-)

The bob I used on the pendulem is for the time being only adjustable by
standard lego spaceing so for the time being after a 24 hour run my clock is
off by 4 minutes I've uploaded a .dat of the pallets I used.
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=8896 I need help finding or
makeing the 42 tooth gear so I can finish the escapement.
