I actually could swear I'd read somewhere that the MIT whirlwind had a
clock, it was a mechanical contraption or something.
I'll stop by the informatics library which has a book on the Whirlwind.
(I'm picking up the Teletype to take it home and work on it here!:)

If you find a book about the Whirlwind let me knowe the title, author,
etc. I'd like to find a copy and read it.
