If the numbers in the clock change 'jerkily' (like in the film) then the alarm is more likely to be triggered at an exact minute, and a little trial and error could get it to trigger at a required time (most days). I don't think you see Bill Murray (Phil) set the alarm in the film, so it could have been set by a previous guest adjusting it over a number of nights (and Phil happy with the alarm time left it as is) Obviously if it goes off at exactly 6am one day, it will every day, as Phil is reliving the same day.

The alarm clock's unrealistic accuracy in Groundhog Day doesn't have to bother you. He's replaying the same day over and over from the same starting point, which is when he wakes up, so of course even an inaccurate alarm clock would go off at the same time.

@coriscotupi
@coriscotupi Год назад
The Galeao airport in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, had a multitude of those e clocks hanging from posts fixed to the ceiling. The neat part was that they were not independent clocks, but just repeaters remotely driven by a centralized controller, and it was cool to watch them all flip the cards at the exact moment, in perfect sync. A slight oddity was the fact that the clocks were placed at only about 2.3 meters (some 7.5 ft) off the ground, within easy reach of the public. It became somewhat of a national sport to reach up and intentionally flip the minute card, immediately prompting the clock to go through the entire 24-hour cycle, to again show the correct time. It took the airport administration a few years to fix this. They did it by enclosing all clock faces in acrylic protection boxes.

I like the three-drum type quite a bit. Sometimes they were called Numechron clocks. Originally they had rigid polygonal drums and were by necessity quite tall, often square in profile, but by the 60's GE was making them with hinged panels forming some kind of belt, and they got much shorter and became a more compact alternative to flip clocks. I have one on my desk that has been running with acceptable or better accuracy for the entire five years I've had it, despite being over 50 years old and plugged in literally continuously since I bought it. It also has the world's most effective alarm tone, an ear-splitting electric buzzer that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

Just ran across this terrific video. Another neat thing about the flip clock mechanisms, at least the ones I've taken apart, as that the flip is driven magnetically. There seems to be a little permanent magnet in each number card, and before the flip they're aligned N-N and S-S so they repel. After the flip the alignment changes so they're N-S and S-N and attract. Lay the clock on its back and it still flips--it's not just gravity that flips the numbers. Ingenious!

Fun fact about seconds (the third hand) from Wikipedia - _Historically, the word "minute" comes from the Latin pars minuta prima, meaning "first small part". This division of the hour can be further refined with a "second small part" (Latin: pars minuta secunda), and this is where the word "second" comes from._ Thirds and fourths used to be popular too.

I paid particular attention to the train type field, which whirred past with all the ususal Os (local), Ex (Express), IC (InterCity), EC (EuroCity) and to my surprise, it also quickly flipped past a TGV option. Later I also noticed an ICE (German high speed train) option which also never went to Prague. The TGV (French high speed train) never ran to Prague so this led me to believe they used to make one type of info board for all European train stations, loaded with every possible combination for all countries. Makes sense as creating various types of these boards would be a nightmare so best to just design a one type fits all and save a lot of dosh on development.

@o0alessandro0o

So fun fact: the old timey analog-analog clock with the analog (analog) alarm can be set somewhat more precisely by running the clock backwards. At that point, the analog alarm hand catches onto the anolog clock mechanism (like running a bicycle's pedals in reverse) and you get more precision out of your alarm setting. Of course, if you want more precision, you will need to figure out what the inherent imprecision of the alarm is, since the mechanism doesn't catch at exactly the same time as it "releases" the alarm, but it's inherently more precise than just shrugging and calling it good enoughit. Assuming you only need to set your alarm once every few months, it may even be worth spending the extra time to figure out what the actual delay between the two steps is, so that you don't consistently get woken up too early or too late. I mean, I've only ever run the thing in reverse once and called it good for the next several years (until I needed to change the clock) but some people place a high premium on their wakeup time.
