Atomic Timekeeping Podcast Episode 15

This time, it's a special video podcast. And I wanted to tell you about a style of clock which I've enjoyed for the past 30 years... the Ball Clock!

Just a little note... I was going to ramble on for a couple more minutes in my narration of this video. But then I realized that there's a 10-minute limit for YouTube videos and I wanted to make this a YouTube-friendly production. So I cut out a few superfluous details. For example, when I was a teenager I actually conditioned myself to sleep through the night with one of these noisy ball clocks running all night long in my bedroom. I wonder if I could do that again now. Hmmm.

Oh the memories! The clank of the balls was ridiculous but kids are mesmerized by it. Missing a "big" hour change was unthinkable, you would race to the clock like a pack of idiots.

Wonderful video.
