- I wrote to the Rosetta Project around December 02, to invite them to write an article on their project. They submitted a copy of their site's info text- I had mentioned the GDFL, so presumably they know what they are doing. Since they are also a part of the Long Now project, maybe the same person contributed about the clock- it's a fair assssumption. --Tarquin 20:38 Mar 15, 2003 (UTC)
[edit] Clarity
"gears necessarily require a ratio relationship between the timing source and the display."
I have a general idea, but I'm not sure exactly what this means. Could someone more mechanically minded rephrase or expand it? Tlogmer 08:11, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
