INTRODUCTION
 The project involves 3D modelling of a quartz clock movement.
 The model will show various parts of the mechanism, which can be used to understand and simulate
the working of the same.
 An actual clock movement is used as a reference for dimensions and the shape.
 A motion study of the various gears will be carried out, to understand its working.
 As an extension, a clock will be built around the clock movement.

MEASUREMENT OF PARTS
 A Vernier caliper is used to measure various dimensions.
 For larger measurements, out of range of the VC (155mm), a large scale was used.
 To count the number of gear teeth, clear picture of the gear wheel was taken, and a free android application
“ImageCounter”, was used, to get an accurate count.
 With the outer diameter (addendum diameter), of gear wheel, and the number of teeth, the rest of the parameters
required for gear teeth construction was calculated.
 Bottom up and top down assembly approaches were used as and when required.
