Never let the key snap back in your hand, always release it gently after each half-turn.
Turn the key with a smooth motion, stopping when the spring won’t wind any further. Wind the clock once per week, preferably on the same day each week. When setting the clock to time, move the minute hand clockwise, pausing at each quarter hour for the clock to chime. 2) With a soft brush, rotate the balance wheel and release it. If it does not, open the back door and start the balance wheel swinging by either of these two methods: 1) Quickly rotate the clock in the plane of the balance wheel to impart motion to it. This type of clock usually starts by itself upon winding. Secure bottom of case to wall so clock is stable. Move the bottom of the case to the left or right until ticking is even (or if there is a beat scale beneath the pendulum, move the case so the pendulum points to zero when at rest). Open the front door and hang the pendulum on the hook (on many clocks the hook is behind the dial), give the pendulum a swing, and the clock will start ticking. Secure the screw into the wall, angled upward at a 45 degree angle, and hang the clock. Setup - Pendulum Wall Clock:Ĭhoose the proper size wood screw (typically a #8, 10 or 12) to fit the hanger at the top back of the clock, and long enough to go securely through the wall into a stud. Place the clock where it is to be used, on a stable, level surface. Lift one side of the clock gently two inches, then put it down to start the pendulum swinging. Carefully place the clock where it is to be used, on a stable, level surface. Open the back door, hang the pendulum on the hook, and close the door. Place clock on table with back facing you. The best aspect about the pendulum clock is their nostalgic appearance and age-old efficiency.These instructions apply to many spring-driven quarter-hour chiming clocks. Advanced metallic pendulums and weights were introduced. The later clocks were a bit simpler to manufacture due to the introduction of better alloys for gears and formulas for setting dimensions of gears. The earliest wooden clocks such as the German cuckoo clocks and grandfather clocks were the most difficult to manufacture as they were made up of wood, and large number of trials were required to perfect them. The conventional ‘ticktock’ sound is made by the escapement sliding into the teeth of the final gear. The swinging of the pendulum activates the escapement, which controls the movement of the final gear. This two-toothed gear is connected into the final gear that turns the arms of the clock. The fixed point of the pendulum goes into a two-toothed gear known as escapement. This turning would have been totally uncontrolled in the absence of the pendulum. The weight turns the gears that are attached to the drum. The last part that comes into the picture is the connection between the gear system and the pendulum.
The spring driven clocks also have the same mechanism, the only difference being that they are driven by a wound up spring. The minute arm moves with a greater speed than the hour arm. The gears are designed in such a manner that they maintain the speed of the arms of the clock. The drum is connected to a set of gears (also known as the trains) that make the arms of the clock move. In weight driven cuckoo clocks, a solid weight is suspended by a chain which goes around a drum when the clock is wound up. The German cuckoo clocks are usually weight driven. There are two variants of pendulum clocks, namely the weight driven ones and the spring driven ones. The second step is quite simple, but very important.
