Inscription text
[edit]It is hardly possible to describe whether or not there are "words" in the text, though some groupings and gaps do appear. Some patterns occur: A01 appears in apparently initial position, and twice before B08. C13 is twice followed by C14. The sequence B07-A05 occurs twice. There is no apparent directionality, but right-to-left seems as likely as not.

Signs
[edit]There are a total of 62 tokens on the block, comprising what appears to be 30 unique signs. A number of these signs represent easily identifiable every-day things. The third-to last sign may be surrounded by additional scratches which may or may not have significance. The 30 symbols have been numbered by Michael Everson from 01 to 30; he also made a preliminary classification into groups: A "Animals", B "Vegetables", C "Points", D "Squares", E "Circles", F "Oblongs", and G "Overlays". The classification is crude and arbitrary.

Domhanchlog Jens Olsen
[edit]Jens Olsen's World Clock a tugtar ar shárchloig astranóimeach atá ar taispeáint i City Hall Cóbanhávan.
The clock was designed and calculated by Jens Olsen who was a skilled locksmith, but later learned the trade of clockmaking. He also took part at the beginning of the clock's construction, but died 10 years before it was completed.
The clock consists of 12 movements which together have over 14,000 parts. The clock is mechanical and must be wound once a week.
The calculations for the clock were made up until 1928, after which they were supervised by the astronomer Professor Elis Strömgren. The drawings for the clock were made between 1934 and 1936, and the actual production of the clock took place from 1943 until 1955. The clock was started on December 15, 1955 by King Frederick IX and Jens Olsen's youngest grandchild Birgit.
