Knowledge and facts about grandfather clocks crystal pendulum
* A pendulum clock must be placed on a level ground or surface. This is basic but it is all important.
When placing it against the wall you might find that the floor covering or rug thickness is not the same everywhere. Or possibly the floor itself is at a different height at the wall junction.
If the clock lists away from vertical it is necessary compensate for it.
* Longcase Clock Pendulums have different front and back sides. The front face of the pendulum is ordinarily the the flat part.
The pendulum of the longcase clock remain without touching any side of the case. Should it hit the walls perhaps it means that the tower is not really vertical.
* The weights that supply power to the clock should stand free of impediments. They should impinge on the pendulum or any part of the casing or mechanism when they descend.
* When you start up the clock by swinging the pendulum check it out for a constant ticking sound. The sounds should be of fixed interval.
If it is not regular in all probability it is because the surface is not level. Experiment a bit and make needed readjustments.
* When modifying the time do not turn the hands of the longcase clock towards the back further than just a few minutes. And certainly never shift the hands rearwards beyond the twelve mark.
You can safely run the clock hands forwards. When running them past the number twelve hold back until your antique clock is through with sounding the hour before moving on.
* If the grandfather clock runs too slow or too fast decrease or increase the length of the pendulum.
Lengthen the pendulum to slow down the clocks pace. Shorten the pendulum to to accelerate the clock.
