- Just a bit of a overview of the ground breaking CNC Ward turret lathe control box, largely based on vacuum tubes
Its actually quite simple, - Věda a technologie
That's one of the best things I've ever seen! Blinkenlights galore!
Ha! A vacuum tue / electromechanical PLC with a built in programming and user interface. Fascinating! Thing of beauty, joy for ever.
And the clicking sound reminds me of a Monotype composition caster - a magnificent example of American/British precision mechanical engineering. I've worked on those machines for five years.
Excellent effort this, fascinating old tech. I suggest you guys do more of these old school equipment demonstrations. Thanks for sharing this one. Cheers! Max
The backside reminded me of watching blinkenlights on mainframes and other computers with front panel lights. It's the sort of pattern you'd see when the processor is executing a program.
What an amazing machine!! I never knew that such a device existed! I learned something today.Happy New Year Ed!
looks like a 1960s sci-fi prop, perhaps from Lost in Space or similar :-) I could watch that for hrs LOL
I had a line of 555's and when you hit them fast with a hammer they make the same sound..
Those poly caps have lasted well,, aussie made ones maybe along with IRH resistors.
Gotta love relay logic
Reminds me of a Sega fortune telling machine called Astrodata. Lots of clicking and neons for effect.
bigclivedotcom I was thinking of wiring it up to Christmas lights.....
@@jgcertified A custom set of neon Xmas lights?
bigclivedotcom ooh now that’s an idea.. chains of small ones, and use big neons on an NST (surely they’ll fire fast enough 😂)
it would make one hell of a Christmas light controller
Neat stuff. Good to see a bit of history running.
the machine that goes "click, click, click", love it.
Edit: Have you seen Wintergatan's Marble Machine? Perhaps the controller could be used to make music in a similar, but decidedly different, way?
RIP Ed.
Happy New Year Ed! What an amazing piece of kit there.
Dude hook that to electronic instruments and you have a sequencer
or car horns
thingyee1118 electromechanical MIDI controller
good to see you back Ed happy new year
This is utterly wonderful
man, at the very least that's some great man cave wall art.
I love it, I could watch it for hours.😄
Peg Board Programming - Love It !!
Looks like its using neon trigger tubes , something like the XC18
Or valve heaters hah
Ye, Certainly not flashing the heaters up at that rate. Good for diagnostics.
yeh these are neon trigger tubes, no heaters. in fact I think they are XC18
Very cool! Maybe you could use it to run your Christmas light display.
It works! That's cool. I didn't know the tubes actually "flash" Interesting.
Please have some more respect for washing machines in 2019! I wish you down under all the luck this year! Love from the Netherlands! 🇳🇱
Look like form the 70s or earlry.it cool to see old equmipents
late 60's to early 80's, they just stuck with what worked
Hard to believe all this can fit in a piece of silicon no bigger than your thumbnail.
Awesome kit
You can't beat a bit of relay logic, clickety-clack :)

pretty cool
You should make some oscillators and connect up and then you have a nice step sequencer to do music with!
I am interested in it.
Admit it, you just raided the prop department of an old SciFi TV show... :P
I can't be the only one who thinks 0:11 looks like KITT's scanner!
Fuck me i thought single line g code programming was a pain in the ass. Saying that this is an awesome bit of kit and you must keep or give to some one that might make use of it. I would love to see it on a lathe working. !! How cool would that be.
Vintage automation my kind of videos
Fucking brilliant boys you are mechanical geniuses Australia isluckly to have kids like you I hope you are both employed in useful positions in industry if not start your own = good on you.
mechanicals are fun to watch.
Neat! I like the part where it goes click
my head hurts
Ello popit
I don't think that's a tube logic. I think it's relay logic witch is just as cool
Here is one in action:
