Data about country french grandfather clocks
* Grandfather clocks must always be on a plane horizontal surface. This seems to be very basic but it is vital.
When positioning the longcase clock in front of the wall you may discover that the floor carpeting is uneven. Or it may be true that the the floor is not even next to the wall.
If the case tends to lean to one side and is not vertical you have to compensate for it.
* Grandfather Clock Pendulums have front and back sides that are distinguishable. The front most often is the the flat polished side.
The pendulum and bob should stay without touching any part of the case. If it collides with the case maybe it means that the clock lists towards one side.
* The assembly of weights that power the mechanism should stand obstruction free. They should not touch the pendulum or any part of the casing or mechanism as they drop.
* When you set off the pendulum swinging listen carefully for a steady ticking sound. The ticks should be regularly spaced.
If it is not regular it is perhaps because the clock is not vertically placed. Do some experimentation and make needed readjustments.
* When you correct the time do not move the hands of the longcase clock backwards further than just a few minutes. Do not under any circumstances run the clock hands rearwards beyond the mid night mark.
It is ok to move the clock hands forwards. When running them across the twelve o clock mark wait till your antique clock is through with sounding the hour chime before you move on.
* If the grandfather clock gets behind or pulls ahead of time increase or decrease the length of the pendulum arrangement.
Make it longer to reduce the clocks speed. Shorten the pendulum to make the clock go faster.
