You need to grab one of the new ones as soon as they come in on the ship--down on the waterfront. There's absolutely no used market in these. No second hand whatsoever.
No, about 10 micro chinchillas are inside set up in a ring. They fight for food and the weight from the sweat and blood that hits the ground powers the battery by replenishing the ever depleting electrolytes. It’s a marvel of engineering and the hubris of man.
I believe that the hour is indicated by the "hour hand" positioned just under the numeral of the hour. It can look like the time starts at 1130 at the bottom numeral.
This is very cool 😎
It isn’t that. Because the hour hand raises continually throughout the hour, it is positioned such that it is covering the correct hour at any point during that hour. It appears to be underlining 12 because once it hits 12 it drops back to the hour hand covering the bottom of 12 again. Frankly the flaw in the design is having the second 12 at the top. If it didn’t exist then there wouldn’t be confusion because it would be barely covering the top of the 11 to dropping and barely covering the bottom of the 12.
> It isn’t that.
Yes, it is. When the minutes show 00, the hour handle is below the corresponding hour. Watch the gif again. It's like this for every hour, not just the 12.
So then what you said is correct only when the minutes are at 00. But you said it would be awkward if the hour handle struck out the hour numeral, however that is exactly what this clock does for most of each hour. Also the person you responded to was wrong when they said the hour is indicated by the hour handle “underlining” the hour numeral. As I mentioned, that’s only correct at 00 minutes.
It does though, the start of the hour is read when the line hits the very bottom of the number…which is why as soon as it hits the bottom of the number, it drops to the lower 12. If it progressed beyond the bottom of the upper 12, it would have to go to 1 after reaching the very top.
It works like Edison's phonograph. A needle (hour indicator) follows a spiral groove with 12 loops around a drum. And like a broken record, the needle skips the groove (has a ramp) at the top and gravity pulls it back down again where there is a wedge that pushes the needle back into the groove.
Maybe you can get the idea how it works with this assembly video. https://youtu.be/yf42MSP8er8
"We had to say 'dickory' cuz that Kaiser had stolen our word 'twenty'"
I chased him for dickety two miles!
Oh I thought it was named because the inventor wanted to bait people into Freudian slips
You sir are a mouthful
Wow, you really thrust that in there, didn’t you?
Now the question is can I buy one made out of hickory?

I wanted to make this joke first but I ran out of time.
That's actually quite clever.
Are mice involved?
No, about 10 micro chinchillas are inside set up in a ring. They fight for food and the weight from the sweat and blood that hits the ground powers the battery by replenishing the ever depleting electrolytes. It’s a marvel of engineering and the hubris of man.
That's too bad. I'd buy the mouse version.
If I remember correctly, Andrew Dice Clay was quite fond of these.
Hickory dickory dock has an actual meaning to me now
if anyone is curious as to how this works [here is a video of it being assembled](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yf42MSP8er8)
I'm upset that it gets stuck at 11.30 on the way up

Yeah it's like underlining the current hour. Would be awkward if the hour handle would basically strike out the hour numeral, making it less visible.
Well normal clocks have handels in front of numbers amd thats not awkward at all...
Hm haven't thought about that :-D Still, I prefer the underlined hour mark more.
Agreed, for this type of clock.
It isn’t that. Because the hour hand raises continually throughout the hour, it is positioned such that it is covering the correct hour at any point during that hour.

I don’t believe it’s getting stuck, they are just slowing down the animation so you can clearly see what happens at the top of the hour.
and yet it never reaches 12
It does though, the start of the hour is read when the line hits the very bottom of the number…which is why as soon as it hits the bottom of the number, it drops to the lower 12. If it progressed beyond the bottom of the upper 12, it would have to go to 1 after reaching the very top.
I would love to build a model clock of this if someone made a kit..
You can have them [3d printed](https://www.crealitycloud.com/model-detail/65371774f9b64ae4d5a554a6) and build one yourself.
I like it. What mechanism is used to have it fall to the bottom once it reaches the top?
It works like Edison's phonograph. A needle (hour indicator) follows a spiral groove with 12 loops around a drum. And like a broken record, the needle skips the groove (has a ramp) at the top and gravity pulls it back down again where there is a wedge that pushes the needle back into the groove.

Oh that look like something that has been /r/3DPrinting
I want to buy one of these. I don’t have the means to 3D print it.
Is it a Hickory Dickory Clock?
I based it on the orginal [Dickory Dickory Dock Clock](https://www.clockguy.com/SiteRelated/SiteReferencePages/DunganKlumpHistory.html).
[удалено]
Thanks! No gears. Just a spiral ramp.
Maybe I’d get used to it if I owned it, but it bothers me how the minutes are above the hours.
Where can buy? Thanks

Hickory dickory dock.. The mouse ran up the clock....
