@m3sca1 @clockandwatchuk The data show the holes are in fact exceptionally well placed - Cheers :)

[Clickspring @clickspring1]

How many holes were there in the calendar ring of the #Antikythera mechanism? New studies published in the peer reviewed Horological Journal @clockandwatchuk from Woan & Bayley https://t.co/661c5H7RAj and separately, Malin & Dickens https://t.co/Hx4wfiULrP find 354 most likely.
