yeah, normally mechanical number displays just have the numbers printed on something that moves and move the right one into the window, like digit wheel odometers or the cards on an axle used for old digital “flip” clocks.

@@nixietubes No, it's actually even more interesting. It's a 7 segment display, but a mechanical one. I can tell it is mechanical because if you look carefully, you can see little plastic flaps move. I think the background is a white 8, and then little black flaps cover the parts not meant to be shown at the moment. It's pretty fast and someone who doesn't have an eye for those things probably wouldn't even notice it was mechanical.

@IONATVS

not with the way it’s designed. the numbers are hard-coded in the camstacks at the back, so while you might be able to bypass them to drive something else onto the display, the instant you rotate the cams it’ll go back to whatever number should be on it based on the rotation of the cams. If you want to actually change the number, not just override the DISPLAY for the number, you need to rotate to the correct position. Would definitely be possible to make a keypad that would turn the cams to the right position for the number, regardless of starting position when pressed tho. Just a rack and pinion system where the pinions are missing teeth at the “correct” positions.

@@wellesradio the clock is 'digital' format. It would be easier to have 1 counter count up to 24 and reset than it would be to have another seperate counter (lots of wooden machinery) reset every 12 hours to switch am to pm. With 12 hour design you need 2 counters which is lots of machinery. 24 hours is easier to implement. You could also jack on a special switch that switches am to pm everytime the main clock resets but that's still extra machinery to engineer.

I've been monkeying with creating something in lego technic, and I came up with having each segment driven by its own axle, and you rotate it 90 degrees clockwise or anitclockwise to turn it on or off...

This is really neat! The only problem I had was that it took a tiny bit for me to see the segments clearly. I think it's the contest between them. I wonder if you could up the contrast, making it easier to see. Given the style, I'd say lightening the tips on the background wood and outer frame and darkening the segments would work. Though, if you didn't mind something that looked painted, there would be a lot more options, perhaps making the segments bright and colorful while the background gets dark and dull, but still visible.
