Amusing! Reminds me of the Chronophage: http://www.johnctaylor.com/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corpus_Clock http://fanf.livejournal.com/98545.html http://fanf.livejournal.com/94043.html Note that the Wikipedia article is incorrect when it says the clock is entirely mechanical: the clock depends on a computerized regulator which is responsible for stopping the spring from over-driving the pendulum, and for the erratic ticking, and for keeping it in sync with MSF every five minutes.

Showers, rain at first. Moderate or good, occasionally poor at first. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
