Proof of concept...
So I decided to try and make one of the wards to see if I could get what I wanted. I started with a piece of 3/8" square stock. I then filed the middle portion to about half that thickness. With the metal removed, it was possible to use a file to create the cross shape. Here is a picture of the ward.
The ruled is centimeters at the top and inches at the bottom. I am very happy with how things turned out. I might want to make it smaller once I double check the size of the original but I'm confident of being able to make the wards now... whew...
A chronicle of my attempts to create an early clock using only traditional techniques.
