THE GEARLESS CLOCK.
One-Wheel Timepiece Invented by Man
in Los Angeles.

c. II. Brigden. a Los Angeles watch
maker, has invented the first timepiece
ever made TO run and to keep time with
single wheel, and the wheel is NOT a
gear wheel but only a perforated disk.
so that the clock might be called gear
less clock
A quarter inch steel ball rolling on two
inclined plates takes the place of pendu-
lum and gearing. This steel ball rolls
over the two inclined plates IN Just a
minute and rolls off the lower plate into
the lower hole of the disk, at the same
time releasing the disk, which is always
under tension impaired to it by two ball
WEIGHTS suspended in towers
The disk carries thirty balls on one
side, and when released by the rolling Of
the ball from the lower plates against n
locking device, the disk turns the space
of one hole. or one minute, and brings
the uppermost ball into position to roll
on the top plate and begin Its zigzag
course down the two inclined plates as
did the preceding ball Each ball rolls
over the plates once every thirty min
