Almanus Manuscript

  Well my copy of the Almanus Manuscript just arrived and it is a major boost to my documentation of medieval clocks.  This document was written in the latter half of the 15th century by an otherwise unknown monk.  Apparently, he was an assistant that helped repair clocks.  As part of that job, he would frequently document the clocks with sketches and comments.

  I am very, very happy with the purchase so far.  The only downside is that the clocks are mantle clocks which are much smaller than the turret clock that I am creating.  However, all the basic mechanisms are either the same or very similar.

  Anyway, back to the book...
