The time has come to think of the next clock, and i am getting the hankering to make another rolling ball clock, having built two Congreve's I want something different.
In1595 Christolf Margraf clock maker to Rodolfo 3rd in Vienna, made a clock that had a fixed inclined plane with a zig zag track and a lifting mechanism to return the ball to the top.
So using this basic idea I have started a new design, it's in the scribbling stage just now. so watch this space.
If you don't know the Congreve Look on My Site ( see bottom of the page ) for the slide show.
