View into the open World Clock:
The MOTOR was diagnosed as defect ...
... Left the ESCAPEMENT - right the TIMER;
View at the TIMER-CONTACTS ...
The disassembled motor
(after cleaning the soot-blackened parts)
shows the burned away lower contact pair ...
... The REPLACEMENT is made of bronze and soldered in ...
... Now assembled, the WORLD CLOCK is working again - WOW! ...
... BUT:
(2nd) TIMER-GEAR BROKEN in 2022
... NOW WHAT ??? SAME DEFECT found in 2nd QUELLE WORLD CLOCK !!!
see DIAGRAM »Zahnraeder« in Chapter "Proportional Divider (Part 2) ..."
( KK=KopfKreis ; FK=FussKreis ; TK= TeilKreis ; n=ZaehneZahl )
KK = 19.75 mm Ø ; FK ~ 18.0 mm Ø ; TK = D ~ 18.9 mm Ø ; n = 64
Modul = D/n = 0.30
" T H A N K S ! " to Prof.Dr.-Ing. Michael Schmidt, Berlin: He made
a "2D"-BRASS-GEAR (left) ... to glue-in the "CENTRAL-GEAR" (= right)
R E M A R K S : The BLUE PLASTIC RING defines the "Down-Position".
ONE SPOKE had to be removed, to "give way" for the SPRING's ROD:
Necessary for CONTACT-SYNCHRONIZATION a 270° SHEET-SEGMENT was added.
YAHOOO !!! The QUELLE World-Time-Clock is working again !!!
Back to the QUELLE WORLD CLOCK ...
