Grasshopper escapements

Was reading the entire internet from start to finish and came across this little mechanical marvel -- the Grasshopper escapement. Wiki entry: Grasshopper escapement A nice youtube video: Grasshopper Escapement Clock by Cyrus Biscardi And the amazing public clock: Corpus Clock The BBC has this article on its dedication (by Dr. Steven Hawking no less): Hawking unveils 'strangest clock' The web page of the builder is here: John C. Taylor Fascinating stuff. Well, I reached the last page of the internet -- time to clean out the garage a bit. Lulu and I just took an introductory class in fused glass and we both fell in love with the medium. Our styles are quite different but we each have fun. Looking at putting a small glass workshop in the garage. Posted by DaveH at February 5, 2012 2:02 PM
