Does anyone know anything about the pnuematic clock co. How does a clock work on pressure (vacuum)?

I don't know anything about them but there are several patents on file for them, you can check them out here;

Also there are articles about a Pneumatic Clock Company out of Paris France.

Thanks Tom! I think I'll leave this one in the junk shop where I found it, until the city decides to run some Paris like underground air lines. My compressor leaks so badly that the clock probably wouldn't keep very good time
