	The answer to this paradox is that the clock does NOT lose 
any time. As you pointed out, your clock is not really a clock, but
rather a line pulse counter. So no matter what the actual time rate
for the clock is, the displayed time will be only a function of the
pulse rate from the power plant. Since the power plant is not being
spun around, the pulse rate will stay constant and thus the clock
will not lose any time.

    	Remember, clocks never directly measure time, they only measure
other quantities that we assume have a particular functional dependance
on time.
