Examples

  • A further countwheel mechanism chooses a single or a double blink whilst the air damper at the top of the gear train slows the action to a realistic pace.

  • The mechanism is released by a countwheel with semi random spacing so the Blink takes place at any position in the to - and fro - motion of the pendulum.
