These images are of different configurations of the whole clock computer model. It is just now fully blocked in and we will begin making changes and looking at different configurations now. 4/20/99

These are images of the wooden 1/2 scale model of the prototype. This is just the face, intercallator, adder, and solar synchronizer. There are some parts missing and some that have yet to be refined but it is proving quite useful to begin to understand how everything integrates. 5/22/98

These are sketches of the two different types prototype designs: Altar and Object. Altar having all the components generally exposed and a horizontal face, and Object where everything is stored within a case that resembles a grandfather clock. The Object clock is of the two face design where one side shows a 12 hour dial and pendulum and the other shows the 10,000 year face and the helical drive units. 5/22/98
