ABSTRACT:
A novel clock apparatus is provided which visually indicates attained time of day by the continuously changing placement order of accumulated spheroids as viewed at rest through framed outlined alignment within window-like apertures, respectively, the apertures being provided in association with time related indicia and defined in an outer wall of a selected housing enclosure. A spheroid is added to the window display for each minute of elapsed time through the provision of time referenced loading means. The housing enclosure is to be any of a variety of intriguing shapes and designs, with selected time-related groups of the apertures being either wholly horizontally aligned or selected groups of horizontally aligned apertures being vertically stacked with respect to each other. A preferred housing comprises a train-like assembly of coupled railway cars.
