Works Flawlessly.

The photo is of the greatest clock in the world, It can run for 10,000 years flawlessly, this is the first model, nine feet tall, the final model will be about 60 feet tall. This month Issue of the magazine Discover's cover is About this clock. It says in the introduction of the article of the month:
"Everything about this clock is deeply unusual. For example, while nearly every mechanical clock made in the last millennium consists of a series of propelled gears, this one uses a stack of mechanical binary computers capable of singling out one moment in 3.65 million days. Like other clocks, this one can track seconds, hours, days, and years. Unlike any other clock, this one is being constructed to keep track of leap centuries, the orbits of the six innermost planets in our solar system, even the ultraslow wobbles of Earth's axis"
