After 2.5 years of continuous operation this clock had its first malfunction today. One note of the chimes quit working. Turned out the brass "tab" that connects the monofilament actuator to the hammer broke off where it was soldered. Easy fix, all good now. I'm actually surprised it ran this long without any mechanical problems!

***** We are talking about the same thing then: your "pause" is my "dotted half note". I notice that the chime doesn't sustain the sound for the entire dotted-half interval in the video, thus the apparent pause. In its present version (faster overall tempo) it sounds considerably better. There are a lot of variations of Westminster in use in all sorts of clocks with lots of little differences. But I have to agree that Big Ben is kind of like the "authoritative" version, in which case mine is "wrong".

Start here with construction pix: eeberfest.net/gallery.php The clock part is a fairly standard Nixie clock design - microcontroller keeps time and oversees all other functions, high voltage driver chips are used to allow microcontroller outputs (5 volt) to drive the tubes (170 volt). The microcontroller operates the chimes by energizing solenoids that pull "strings" that raise the chime hammers. The lengths of the chime rods determine what notes they sound. Playing the Westminster tune is then simply a matter of programming the microcontroller to fire the right solenoids at the right times...

+Elevating Northern Colorado There's no way I can answer that completely in a KZitem comment. Short answers: the time is displayed on Nixie Tubes (google it) which are a type of neon tube. The chimes are from a regular clock, modified so that solenoids actuate the hammers. The brains of the thing is a Atmega328 microcontroller with a bunch of supporting hardware (shift registers, solenoid drivers, power supplies, etc.),
