June 3 Status: 

 

Decade counter running - 17 DPDT relays. 

Researching wider relays to reduce number of relays.

Trade-off is price and simplicity of using one kind of relay.

 

Movie of decade count in action.

August 23 Status: 

 

Using 12 VAC relays.  Built panel 1 with 34 relays to test my circuitry, this is about 1/2 of the clock.

 

Next: build an electric pendulum escapement, and a display panel.

Lower panel.  Divide by 64 and divide by 10 with decode.

Wiring of panel, this will be replaced by a circuit board for the kit.

December 21 Status: 

 

Working on a pendulum that is "kicked" occationally by a solenoid to provide the timebase.
