Wow! That looks impressive! I'd like to see the whole workings explained,
particularly the striking bit....

Ok, after tinkering with this for months, I finally have a complete Lego
clock that strikes the hours! It is completely mechanical, and • non-electric.

It features:
375:1 gear ratio
8 hours running time
3 lbs clock weights and 2 lbs striking weights.
Strikes on the hour, about once per second, as many times as required to
indicate the hour.
Uses all Lego parts, Lego string etc, with the exception of the bell which
came from an old telephone and the weights, which are 1 lb lead bars.
