Hey Bob!

That's a really neat clock!

Had never heard about it previously! Nice rendition in LEGO!

Looks simple enough, but I quess getting the balls to roll safely is a trick in
itself.

So what basically determines the speed/accuracy of the clock is the speed of the
conveyor?

To tell the time read the hour from the 3rd row of balls. (...) (21 years ago, 25-Feb-04, to lugnet.technic) !!
