Thats excellent. Do you think you would need planning to get one at Dalmore?
-
Well that is a clock with a difference !!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
I think it's beautiful.
-
mesmerising. I expect lots of people miss their trains watching it! ;D
-
Now that would get our local planners in a spin. No excuse for being late for work if we had one of those around the place!!!
-
How do they do it ie make the shapes with pouring water? Or is that a dumb question?
-
I'm guessing it'll be a bit like old dot matrix printers, 'printing' a line at at time.
Using lots of valves that open and close according to a set pattern with a reservoir above and a pump to circulate the water. The water will always fall at a predictable speed thanks to gravity so it's all about the timing.

A bit like a jaquard machine then, or an automatic organ or polyphon. Very clever.

I don't know ...... It's very lovely but when I look at a clock - it's because I want to know the TIME.
Sorry to be a killjoy :P

But if you were sitting waiting for a train for 20 minutes, wouldn't you choose the Osaka clock over this:

Yes - quite agree Dan ..... But if my train is late I while away my time looking at TAS on my iPad ;D ;D ;D

;D
By the way, we have improved layouts for iPad, iPhone and other mobile devices coming soon. :)
I'll contact you for iPad testing since we don't have one. :'(

Delighted to help. It works very well as it is though
-
As I sit in bed catching up on my iPad I'm also wondering what the difference is

Nothing at the moment, and now I look there's actually no need for an iPad style since it's got a resolution large enough in landscape to accommodate the site. ::)
Ignore me, an early senior moment. :D

Thanks, noted, will try to sort this when I come to do the mobile styling (it'll be at least a week).
