Very Simple Clock
Reworking a Design from 1971
Published in issue 364, April 2007
Electronics moves with the times. Over the years the options available change and there are ever different solutions to realising a certain concept. It is often the case that the amount of integration is increased as much as is possible. A good example is this Very Simple Clock. This clock is based on the Hebinck-clock that was published in the May and June 1971 issues of Elektor Netherlands (the design was never published in the English-language edition, which first appeared in 1975).
