[time-nuts] Electric Pendulum Clocks

[Brooke Clarke]

Hi David:

The following web page is highley recomended if you're into precision 
pendulum clocks.  It's titled Electric CLocks to differentiate from 
spring wound clocks.  By all means get the latest Macromedia Shockwave 
player and spend some time viewing the animations with the sound turned 
on.  In most cases the pendulum must swing for a number of seconds 
before the electric circuit is actuated and gives it a "kick".

Have Fun,
