Bertho, Repeating watches (watches that chime the time when you pull a lever) have a similar mechanism, where the action of pulling winds up a spring that is used to run the chiming machinery, and they usually have a "go/no-go" system that guarantees you get no chiming at all unless you pull the lever all the way (otherwise you'd get a partial chime giving the incorrect time.) This might give you some more options for searching... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
