The escapement would advance a cam and eventually allow a set of points to make contact, energizing a solenoid which would rewind the drive spring and open the points. Worked pretty good, drew a significant amount of current and after time the contacts would pit and the operation became unreliable... I found the clock above which works on a similar principle. The escapement moves a cam that eventually allows a set of points to make contact which activates the motor. That motor drives the digital number display, rewinds the drive spring asm and resets the cam. Oddly the cam/motor/contact portion works good.. the escapement drive sucks. It can run fast, or slow depending on who knows what... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
