Magazine: Like Clockwork is an electronics magazine about timers. Reading it teaches two recipes, Make Timer and Add Timer to Bomb.
The first recipe builds a timer from a clock. The second fits that timer to a homemade bomb, so the bomb goes off after a delay. Both belong to the Electrical skill and need very little of it.
The magazine is found in loot, mostly in electronics stores, book stores and tool stores. Reading it also eases boredom and stress.
Uses
Make Timer needs Electrical level 1. It takes a Timer or an Alarm Clock, one Scrap Electronics and Glue. A screwdriver and a pair of pliers are needed and kept. The result is a Timer - Crafted.
Add Timer to Bomb needs no skill level once known. It takes one bomb, one Timer - Crafted, two Scrap Electronics and Duct Tape. The bomb can be an Aerosol Bomb, a Fire Bomb, a Noise Maker, a Pipe Bomb or a Smoke Bomb. Both recipes can be done on any surface.
A timer gives the builder time to set the bomb and move away before it goes off.
The Electrician occupation starts with Make Timer known. The bombs come from their own recipes, which the Engineer occupation knows. Magazine: Home Security Monthly teaches the motion sensor versions of the same bombs.
Like every magazine, it also counts as paper for armour. Make Magazine Body Armor takes eight magazines and four Duct Tape at Tailoring level 1. Make Magazine Limb Armor takes one magazine and two Duct Tape.

Locations
Electronics stores are the best place to look. Their counters hold it almost one time in five, and their shelves often too. Book store shelves and tool store shelves hold it less often. Bathrooms, bedroom small boxes, closets and attics turn one up now and then.

Notes
- An Alarm Clock works in place of a store-bought Timer.
- Five kinds of bomb accept a timer, from the Noise Maker to the Pipe Bomb.
- Electrician characters already know how to make the timer.
- A read copy still serves as Magazine Body Armor material.
