A Stack of Cams

[Steve CrowParticipant @stevecrow46066]

I’ve just finished a “cam stack” for a clock I’m making.

 

Here it is from the back. In order, an equation of time cam, sunrise, sunset and the annual calendar dial.

 

The whole thing probably took me longer to plot than to make, especially to synchronize the three as the cam followers are all at dfferent radial points.

I’ve fettled and calibrated the EoT and sunrise. I’ve not made the follower for sunset yet.

Here’s a side view complete with fingers for scale.

 

Trouble is, I will never be able to move now as the cams are specific to the Isle of Thanet.

Cheers

Steve

[Edit] When I say finished, I’m not refering to the surface. Still work to be done there.
