The Vertical Linear Time Column System

The premise of the both single and double systems is the analog progression of blocks of light down the face of the columns designating the elapsed time in five minute intervals.

Each column is divided into eleven equal segments.
This division simplifies segment recognition in that the viewer can visually divide the total space in half (half way through the hour) and half again (on the quarter hour).

On both Linear Time Column systems, Kinetos and Solos, the minute movements occur at five minute intervals. For example, on the minutes column, the first five minutes of every hour the entire face is dark. At five after the hour an illuminated square will appear at the top of the column and descend down the face to the bottom designating the passage of one hour. At each five minute interval, the square moves down one position to the base where the cycle repeats. On the hour column in Kenitos, changes occur on the hour starting at the top with one and progressing to the bottom for eleven. At noon and midnight the square returns to the half way point (sixth square) and has a distinctive color.

The single system, Solos, is a fusion of the double system , Kinetos into one column.
