So I was browsing the rear view mirror pedestals on the Moss sale items at work today when a (female, blond) colleague asked me what they where for. I explained and since the healey doesn't have a cl

G'day Pieter Sometimes even blondes say things that contain more truth than you would expect. Perhaps someone can explain this for me? I have a Barbie Healey with a digital clock but it will not work

That's because you are Down Under, which means the digital display is upside down. You need to turn your barbie-clock upside down and then it will work correctly. You should also check to see if the

That probably explains why I have the gravel rash on the top of my head. If I were to turn the clock arse about face then the electrons would fall upwards. I think it's got something to do with Hert

I can only imagine that this clock is set remotely by a transmitter. We have this kind of transmitter here in Germany. The antenna is near the city of Frankfurt and the signal can be received within

There is a similar system here in the UK. It used to be on transmitters near Rugby and the system often became called a Rugby Clock. However the transmitters used are now in the Lake District but a

Might you know if your power is 60 or 50 cycles per second. I remember back in the 50's when I was stationed overseas, the guys would purchase very good Grundig (not sure about the spelling) record

Cycles per second (CPS) is important for clocks driven by electrical motors and those motors were synchronous motors because their speed was governed by CPS. These motors operate in synchronization w

Those of us who lived in London during the war and relied on a synchronous motor clock had to be careful that the time shown was correct. Due to power shortages not only was the voltage reduced duri

Actually in some digital clocks the line frequency does matter very much. AC powered digital clocks use the line frequency of the power line instead of a quartz crystal to calculate time. Any variati

Actually it does matter for digital clocks produced in the early years of digital clock technology. Digital clocks today use a crystal for the time base, but the early ones used the frequency of the
