another vintage display technology, the

cathode

ray gun

into a discrete counting device. The E1T

uses a cathode ray and some neat tricks to display

a green line in 10 positions, each cunningly

numbered from 0 to 9. These were used in early

counters (such as the one pictured on the right). A

far more detailed explanation of how to electrically

drive an E1T can be found later on in this

document. There are also some great resources on

the web for history and data about the E1T.

Anatomy of a Fortress

The clock consists of the following components;

•

Six E1T tubes encased with raked cast acrylic light guides.

•

Two acrylic light guide rod colons.

•

PIR - so the clock can go to ‘sleep’ if no-one is in the room to bask in its beauty.

•

Rotary encoder - to select the different ‘faces’ to the clock and also to adjust the volume.

•

Infrared remote sensor

•

Two high quality downward firing speakers - the Fortress is capable of using .WAV files to

play chimes and audio.

•

SD Card - this contains all the face file descriptors (Nuggle programs), audio files, chimes ,

system files and

system.ini

file.

•

A removable plate at the rear to access both the SD card and the programming port on the

CPU board.

•

A GPS/WiFi antenna connector

•

PSU Input hole (12V DC rated at a

minimum

of 5A output)

•

A case top/cover for the clock

As interesting as the E1T is as a piece of vintage CRT technology, we thought we’d spruce things up with a little extra bling….which you

can turn off if you so desire!

PIR - Passive InfraRed sensor.

For clear acrylics, these are IR transparent, but opaque materials and aluminium cases have a cut-out for the IR receiver.

Some of it

quite amusing

The clock doesn’t require a continuous 5A input, but upon startup the heaters require quite a bit of

juice

to warm up. This is mitigated a lot

by the slow startup implementation in the clock hardware, but current spikes of approximately 3A are not uncommon from a cold start.
