Nixie Tube Watch

[Phil Allison]

Hi all,


Silicon Chip have just published construction details for a nixie tube
lock - a popular DIY project back in the early 1970s.

But have you ever seen a nixie tube watch ??

Claimed to be the ultimate " geek " accessory.

Bet David L. Jones will want to build one - and wear it !!

Nope, a bit lame. I have something way cooler and geekier than that...

I prefer the atomic stabilised wristwatch:

We're getting a Siemens T3000 control system which will use a GPS for
it's time reference.

That's nice, your operators can finish their shift right on time.

More of a reference to compare grid time to.
