The Kremlin Clock or Kremlin chimes is a historic clock on the Spasskaya Tower of the Moscow Kremlin.
The Kremlin clock faces have a diameter of 6.12 metres (20.1 ft) and are placed on all four sides of the Spasskaya tower. The Roman numerals are 0.72 m (2.4 ft) tall. The length of the hour hand is 2.97 m (9.7 ft), and of the minute hand 3.27 m (10.7 ft). The total weight of clock and bells is 25 tons. The mechanism is powered by 3 weights, weighing between 160 and 224 kilograms (353 and 494 lb). Accuracy is achieved by a pendulum weighing 32 kg (71 lb).
1990. Recycled tin can with indian ink and stitches on linen. The clock was broken so I decided to decorate it.
The "restoration" story of this historic city clock is kinda funny...
From the Eagle Tribune - April 18, 2017:
HAVERHILL — Repairing the old downtown clock was as simple as plugging it back in.
The clock on the sidewalk in front of the parking deck on Merrimack Street that had stopped working at some point in the recent past is now keeping time again.
City officials say it was expected to cost thousands of dollars to repair — but that was before the city electrician found the clock was just unplugged, so to speak.
City Councilor Melinda Barrett, who has been involved in bringing the clock back to life, said the clock's electrical wiring was found to be disconnected in several locations.
"It was repaired, tested and is working fine, although it is a little fast," she said Tuesday morning. "A bulb is burned out, but that can be replaced."
A resident of the city has stepped forward with an offer to donate money for the clock's maintenance.
The clock had been stopped at a couple of minutes after 12.

The clock sends time signals to the centralized fault data interface unit, the flight data interface unit and the flight management and guidance computer.

The Porthmadog town hall is located at the Maritime museum in Porthmadog, the trustees of the museum need to have the clock removed from there as they wish to have the room to display more exhibitions.
The town council I have been told have been told about this but are not interested.
It is a shame that it can`t be put together again
The clock was presented by Francis William Alexander Roche grandson of William Alexander Madocks during it`s construction in 1846
My thanks goes to the attendant at the museum for letting me view the clock
Almost 9" in diameter. I came across this in a Dallas "mantiques" store and had to have it. Now it sits on my shop wall. (Please note: That's not my shop wall. You don't want to see my shop wall.)

King's reflected in the golden 'Chronophage'. Cambridge, UK
The new clock at Corpus Christi, Cambridge was designed by Dr John Taylor, an horologist and former student at Corpus. The face is plated with 24 carat gold and it is said to have cost a million pounds to make. It is partly a tribute to John Harrison, an 18th century English clockmaker who solved the problem of longitude. He also invented the 'grasshopper escapement' (part of a clock mechanism), hence the freaky grasshopper thing which moves with every second and 'eats' the time as it passes. 'Chronophage' means 'time-eater'. The clock was unveiled by Professor Stephen Hawking on 19th September 2008.
Here's a video explaining how it works.

Woke up at 6:30 this morning to take a picture with my lamp.. My sister yelled at me to turn off the light, so that failed completely. So I went outside and took some unoriginal pictures.
Finally, at 7:10, I got a decent picture. Today was experimenting with long shutter speeds (oh, and making a picture have a lomo feel!)
But then this picture wouldn't upload with a description at home, so I had to do it at work.. which I would be doing now. bye flickr!
Yay! My laser cut plastic from Ponoko arrived and like the best ikea flatpack it assembled together and all the parts actually fit!
It's six rectangles with slots in the top and bottom and ridges on the side, front and back walls. It doesn't hold itself together very well if you aren't careful, though a bit of glue would soon fix that. For now I'm leaving it as it is.
The main control PCB goes on the outside back, where you can easily access the buttons to change the time. Power supply is inside on one side wall, and the two nixie driver boards themselves are on the bottom. Amazingly, my laser cut holes line up with the holes in the PCBs and I am able to screw everything into place! Hurrah!

"Unless I'm wrong
I but obey
The urge of a song:
I'm--bound--away!
And I may return
If dissatisfied
With what I learn
From having died."
~Robert Frost
AWAY!

That which has been away now longs to be alive once again...
Photographed is the dial, hands, and movement to an early 18th Century Chippendale 'Grandmother Tall Case Clock'. By providence the clock has made it's way to me. One can see the accumulated dust on the movement before I disassemble and clean the movement. I believe the last time the clock functioned was the 1950's.
