I’ve always thought this an interesting phenomena and have really never seen it mentioned here before, but if you turn up the volume nice and high on this video and listen close you can hear a sort of clanging noise. I believe this noise is the digits expanding and contracting as they heat up and cool down as they are turned on and off. Pretty neat, I think! My Thomas clocks with IN-18’s all do it and always have, but my other clocks that cross fade from one digit to the next, do not seem to do it. Maybe because the on and off is more gradual? Anyway, I know, a totally geekie observation, but I thought it would be fun to share with the group. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
