I recognize you're attempting the style of Big Ben, but the minimalist yet strong lines and facade of grey is more suited to Art Deco. Urbanization, and civic duty, all that good stuff. The clock tower itself, as an object, predates the victorian era by at least a century if not more as I recall the Renaissance being when they began starting these sorts of civic projects. So please, know what your talking about before you comment.Īctually, it resembles Art Deco more than the Victorian styles of the time, which admittedly did include ecclecticism. The structure is primarily Victorian influence, with some sci-fi elements, such as the redstone controlled lighting. A vertical redstone bus runs up the core of the building to the clock face. The unit was too big to fit into the tower, so it is located underneath the fountain in the plaza.Īnd this is how the signal gets to the top. The counter increments to eleven, then uses a synchronous reset (driven by the clock signal), to loop back to zero (12 o'clock). Probably could have made the unit smaller, but miniaturization would have taken much more time. I had to design my own, since all the existing counter designs were either binary or incremental, which would not be suitable for acting on a single output at a time. A mess of signal routing in order to run each signal to its corresponding point on the clock face.Ī view of the sequential counter. The 12 o'clock is derived from the other signals using a massive NOR gate (right side of image) during the counter reset phase. The 11-bit sequential counter used to drive the clock (left). Looking up into the clockwork, with catwalks snaking around the machinery: Behind the clock face, showing the signal lines used to drive the display:
