Equation of Time Calculator (Pt 1)

Starting next on the calculator for the equation of time, utilizing a design that I am particularly proud of. It is primarily a pair of scotch yokes, each driving a dovetail slider. In the image below the right half is for the effect of eccentricity and the left half is for the effect of obliquity. Note that the effect of obliquity is on a swinging platform, which is moved using a linkage (not seen below) driven by an eccentric under the effect of eccentricity assembly.
