Seven Segment Display (24 hour version)

This is a mechanical seven segment display that counts from 0 to 23 using a camshaft.

It will show this pattern of numbers during one rotation:

0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0, 1, 2, 3

This is specifically designed to be a component of a 24-hour clock. If you want a regular seven segment display, make this one instead.
