Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1070996A1] Clockwork comprises two disks (14, 16) rotating around their centers (22, 24). Upper disk (16) is transparent, and carries numbers forming units of the date. Lower disk (14) carries numbers forming tens of the date. Clockwork also comprises driving mechanism so that disks rotate, and display correct date. Axis of rotation of disks are separated by distance equals to r(1) + r(2) - 2 asterisk e, where r(1) and r(2) are disks radii, and e is width of list of numbers.
