  2. Re:Is timekeeping really that difficult to solve? on Power Grid Change May Disrupt Clocks · · Score: 1

    It looks like this method for timekeeping was common in the 1930s. I work in electronics and never in my life have I seen a clock that works like this. Ive been dismantling old equipment since I could hold a screwdiver. 35 years
