That is a "pictorial diagram" rather than a schematic. Is it possible to create a schematic?

something like this?

Yes, exactly, although it turned out to be only slightly more comprehensible than the pictorials :P
Thanks...

Well here you go, I drew something up in tinyCad with the right values. I did this quickly, so this is only the 3 digit version with startup circuit.

Thanks, much easier to understand!

Now a really crazy idea would be to make a "digital" clock without any semiconductors. Use a mechanical pendulum for timing, relays for counting, and small incandescent lightbulbs. I wonder if such a thing was ever made during the early electric era.
I find it curious that most popular wrist watches use the opposite approach now, a quartz oscillator but mechanical hands. They have never appealed to me.

I've seen a digital clock where all the counting, display, etc was done with neon lamps.
