These wonderful animations were made by Ted Bosschieter and used to be available to play in a browser but the plug-in is no longer available and so we have converted them into short videos so that they can be viewed on ClockDoc. You can either view them online or you can download and then play them off-line. With a local VLC Media player you can start/stop or advance frame by frame, nice if you want to study operational details and surely the best way to understand a complex movement.
PLEASE NOTE: All these animations and videos are copyright BoscoClocks / JE Bosschieter and may not be reproduced or used without permission.
