Rolling Ball Sculpture

"Grandfather Time" is a grandfather sized rolling ball clock. The clock itself is a spring wound movement. Every fifteen minutes the clock triggers a switch that releases a ball down the track. The track runs from the top to the bottom of the sculpture. As the ball makes its way to the bottom it strikes a single chime. The clock chimes an additional bell sounding out the hour on the hour.
