Hello, I just finished a new Lego clock.  It is driven by a 6lbs weight.  It has
a run time of about 25 hours. It chimes the hour on the hour.  All pieces are
Lego except the chime, the weight, & the 80lbs fireline.  I'm going to make a
mlcad file when I have a chance.  Accuracy is good at +- 2 minutes a day.  The
clock has 1.5 second period swing. That means it swings 57,600 times a day!
Thanks to Amnon Silverstein http://popbubble.com/Lego/LegoClocks/ for helping me
with the chimer.

(...) Very nice work! And (URL) as I know> it's always risky to announce a MOC on April 1st. (17 years ago, 1-Apr-08, to lugnet.technic, FTX)
