Info on benjamin bannekers pendulum clock
* Grandfather clocks must always be on a plane horizontal surface. This sounds simple but it of great importance.
When positioning the clock next to the wall you may ascertain that the carpet or floor covering thickness is irregular. Or maybe the the floor surface is at a different height at the wall.
If the case is leaning towards one side you have to set it right.
* The Pendulums On Clocks have front and back sides you can tell apart. The front of the pendulum is in most cases the the flat face.
The pendulum of the longcase clock must swing free of the walls of the case. Should it hit the walls it could mean that the clock tower is not quite vertical.
* The block of weights that are its driving force should be free of obstructions. They should not come into contact with the pendulum or any part of the casing when they fall.
* When you start up the pendulum check for a constant ticking sound. It should be stable and regular.
If it is not regular in all probability it is because the case tilts to one side. Experiment a bit and make needed readjustments.
* When correcting the time do not move the hands of the clock rearwards by more than a few minutes. And under no circumstances turn the clock hands backwards past the twelve o clock mark.
It is ok to run the clock hands forward. When running them past the mid night mark hold back until your antique clock has completed striking the hour before you continue.
* If the clock gets behind or pulls ahead of time decrease or increase the length of the pendulum arrangement.
Step up the length to slow down the pace. Shorten the length to to accelerate the clock.
If you face difficulties in setting up the clock ask the dealer to install it. Savor the ambience of elegance your antique clock lends to your interiors!
