    Pendulum balls who had one?

    How had one of those pendulum balls on their desk, (the ones where you pulled the outer ball on the string and they caused a chain reaction make the other balls swing)
    things seemed to advanced to these entertaining little variants
    .

    Hmmmm, CG stuff, very clever. Like this one I saw on here years ago, and it still mesmerises me with it's complexity.

    Were they the little gadgets with about 8 balls and you swung the last ball out and let it go so it hit against the next ball causing a chain reaction? If so I well remember the old doctor the family used many moons ago had one that us kids amused ourselves with while mum had her consultation.
    Clack clack they went back and forth and kept us quiet for a while anyway.
