This looks very nice. I have never given much thought to trying to make my Lego
Grandfather Clock (www.ericharshbaregr.org/lego/clock.html) 'chimable', but
it's nice to see that it can be done.
Good gear ratio. My clock does not run as consistently as I wish it would
(originally it ran over 13 hours on the weights, but the amount of weights is
taking it's toll on the gears and axles, so I'm lessening the gear ratios --
and losing time).
anyway... bravo.
