[time-nuts] watch innards video

[Flemming Larsen]

When I was a kid, I loved to watch the pendulum swing back and forth and listen to
the tick-tock of my grandparents old wall clock. When I was about five, I completely
disassembled my parent's mantle clock. It wasn't until many years later that I learned
to put them back together and learn about what makes them work.

OOOOOHHHHHH!!! If I didn't find electronics so fascinating, I'd be going to school for an ME degree rather than an EE..
