Have never seen such a thing, what a great device! If someone was to mention a mechnical digital clock, I would be thinking flip clock.

Interesting little thing. We had an old strapping machine at work which was like that, it was all cam logic with microswitches!

I saw this. It's quite an interesting design being all mechanical.

Like the mechanical washing machine process controllers? There were stil machines using those into the early 2000s, I had a table top dishwasher that used one from 2002 with the rotary dial that would click round as it ran though the program.
