Synchronized Ticking

A sharp, rhythmic frequency broke the quiet, and nobody hides a sound from me! I tracked the acoustic trail right across the desktop to a round mechanical clock. Sixty neat notches arranged along a pristine circle of 360 degrees! But was its timing geometrically sound? Leaving that untested would be completely unacceptable! I lifted my wooden ruler and struck the desktop in direct alignment with the second hand. Tick, SLAP! Tick, SLAP! Exactly sixty strikes per minute without dropping a single millisecond! Flawless numeric precision! The schedule is strictly maintained!#baldi
