Field note

Seeing everything together uncover errors

Today I learned: laying out all those wheels together helped spot a big oops! 😅 The cannon pinion just won't fit with the current teeth counts. Time to rework and make it all groove together. 🛠️🔍 Check out the sketch and the story behind it at thebitcoinwatchmaker.com.

Putting all the components together revealed a crucial design flaw: the current sizes of the wheels don't allow the cannon pinion to fit properly. 🛠️ This means a redesign is necessary, specifically adjusting the teeth counts, to ensure everything functions smoothly. It's a good reminder that sometimes you need the big picture to spot the small but important details.

These wheels make all the ratios that will display hours, minutes, seconds in the same axis

Im really glad I layed them over together

why?

See that wheel with the curvy cutouts? well the cannon pinion fits in it, and with the current sizes I wont be able to fit the two wheels, need to rework the teeth counts!
