Not a real answer to your question, but if you want to see a Rudolph
paper clock in action, I made some videos of mine:

Unfortunately mine jams after a few minutes, despite several
adjustments. I'm working on a Wrebbit Medieval clock now (a couple
pics are on my blog, same site) that I bought on Ebay. Bought a
Wrebbit Peace Tower clock on Ebay too, but haven't started it.
