Linear time display with symbolic indicators

A method for creating a linear clock, the method comprising the steps of

• locating a main body;
• attaching twelve hour sections to the main body and allowing each hour section to be activated at an appropriate time
• interposing eleven five minute sections between each hour section and allowing each five minute section to be activated at an appropriate time;
• and
• attaching four one minute sections to the main body and allowing each one minute section to be activated at an appropriate time such that when the hour section, five minute section, and one minute section is activated, a linear clock is created that can accurately indicate the time;
• and,
• arranging at least the twelve hour sections and the eleven five minute sections in a stacked and alternating pattern in which the main body defines a single column.

A linear clock wherein the linear clock contains:

• a main body;
• twelve hour sections on the main body wherein each hour section contains an indicator that exclusively represents a unique one hour interval in a twelve hour cycle;
• five ten minute sections interposed between the twelve hour sections wherein each ten minute section contains an indicator that represents exclusively a unique ten minute interval, and the five tell minute sections in aggregate representing up to fifty minutes in ten minute increments;
• nine one minute sections wherein each one minute section contains an indicator that exclusively represents a unique one minute interval, and the nine one minute sections in aggregate representing up to nine minutes in one minute increments, and the main body defines a single column in which the twelve hours sections, the five ten minute sections and the nine one minute sections are stacked, and alternating.
