Here’s a bit of clock-related JS animation I did many years ago, which helps to explain how the LED hands work on the Corpus chronophage clock: https://dotat.at/random/clock.html https://dotat.at/random/clock.html more words on my blog: https://fanf.dreamwidth.org/93037.html https://fanf.dreamwidth.org/93037.html I also wrote some notes on a talk given by John Taylor on how he made the Corpus clock https://fanf.dreamwidth.org/96948.html https://fanf.dreamwidth.org/96948.html The Wikipedia page asserts that the clock is purely mechanical, without any computer programming, but I believe (based on what Taylor said in his talk) that the clock has a computerized regulator which makes it tick erratically, and keeps it synced to the MSF radio time signal. But Taylor is very cagy about it, saying he prefers the clock’s weirdness to be mysterious. (if you have an electric kettle, it’s very likely the element / switch / thermostat were made by Strix, John Taylor’s company) of course the video link in my blog post 12.5 years ago is now broken but it might well have been the same as this video blurb from John Taylor on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHO1JTNPPOU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHO1JTNPPOU
