I've seen web pages about Lego clocks such as this one: (URL) it want it to be my hobby to make a clock out of Legos. I'm trying to copy a foreign clock and I'm waiting to get contacted back with info about the number of teeth for every gear. Lego (...) (16 years ago, 26-Sep-08, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) And 12, and 14, and 20, and 36, and then there's that worm-gear. And that's not even getting into the old-style gears, or that odd 4-tooth knob gear (though that's really only useful with other 4-tooth knob gears, so it doesn't really help (...) (16 years ago, 27-Sep-08, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) It doesn't need to be exact, just repeatable. I need to make an armature of 4 or 5 successive 15degree "turns" to support some panels that are making sort of a jointed arc. I'll give the technic pieces a try. Almost jumped for joy at Nick (...) (16 years ago, 1-Oct-08, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Further measurements show that connector #3 is 22.5 degrees - this means you can use these to make a jointed 90 degree arc with 5 panels (the ends would be perpendicular to each other). Would this meet your design requirement? (16 years ago, 2-Oct-08, to lugnet.robotics)
