How it works

How the machine works

Using the example 1st July 1987

1. Put the date numbers through this equation and note down the first ten digits.

2. Write the ten digits onto a settings slip

3. Use this sheet to complete the settings slip

4. Cut a tiny bit of a corner of 300gsm card and line that up with the coloured corner from the settings sheet. This corner is always top right once complete

5. Enter the numbers from the settings sheet into the Drawing machine. 

6. Position the wheels at the correct Date and put the Drawing arms and pen in place

7. Set up the video capture and start all motors at the same time and drop the pen.

8. Make up the Data Sheet, Upload the timelapse video, Frame it and ship it out
