The only other clock I've seen with a similar pendulum is the Seiko Sonola model which utilized current supplied from a battery. Thank you for sharing the history of this clock. I am glad to learn about this! 🌷

Depending on how the strike and music trains are activated, turning the hand past the hour manually to demonstrate the time strike and music could be harming the clock. The strike is supposed to be finished before the music plays. Depending upon upon how those trains are activated, turning past the hour by hand could trigger both strike and music, when the clock in normal operation activated them sequentially. Perhaps a clearer explanation is the strike train activated right on the hour. If the music is activated 30 seconds after the hour, then moving the minute hand to 1 minute past the hour will trigger the music whist the time strike is still running. This will harm some clocks.

How do you change the time without harming it?

@@RenaissanceEarCandy There is a pointer on the dial that can be set to ‘silent’ mode, in part so that the clock doesn’t chime through the night, but with the clock set to silent, there is certainly no issue with setting the time.

wasn't there railway time and sundial time. and they both were out by 15 minutes or something ?

Yeah, there was\is a lot of something..... Sundials were used to calibrate the clocks according to solar time. But precisely because pendulum clocks acquired a huge jump in precision (ahem, accuracy not just precision) they had to drop the sundials and the solar time. So, in order to turn that amazing precision into accuracy, they started to calibrate the clocks using the stars (instead of the Sun). The jargon is "sidereal time". These complications stem from the fact that we orbit the Sun on a slightly eccentric oval (an ellipse instead of a circle) and also Earth's axis of spin is tilted relative to the plane of the orbit. As clocks became really good, they were able to measure that the solar day, i.e., noon-to-noon, varies by up to 15 minutes or so, depending on the seasons\months.

Tom Scott's comedy group, The Technical Difficulties, had a series titled "Citation Needed," where a panel has to guess the important points of a Wikipedia article, along with a lot of funny banter. One of theirs uses the article on Ruth Belville.

This was brilliant. Extremely informative and straight to the point. The clockmakers of old were very intelligent and coupled with a couple of skilled hands produce great works which are still running 200 years later.

Very well done. I would love to have the center and clock on the right as they are original but the clock on the left is ok too.

Thank you for this! Really interesting. It probably wouldn’t be easy or perhaps even appropriate to show the movement in this video, but I was curious about its architecture. Anyway, fantastic and educational!
