how does the clock work

[jeriellsworth]

It has little cards that fall down when the spindle in the middle rotates.

That deserves an article in Make magazine! I have a few of these old clocks with seized 115v motors, and would love to get a few back in operation.

Amazing and hilarious!

And, yeah, I'm totally in love with Jeri...

You have a amazing mind Ms. Jeri, nice project

[dumyyyyyy]

looks like a time bomb at your left hand ;))  The wires and the batteries give the whole aspect ! Anyway, a big thumbs up for this! Very retro!

this is disgusting.

i've made a watch that displays in binary with an hourly that beeps the number of hours past midday/night while showing the time in 24 hour plus it has a set alarm which beeps until its turned off or the hour increments

it all just squeezes into a small jiffy box with an analogue clock driver board and a PICAXE 20M micro
