The story about hammond grandfather clocks
* A grandfather clock always need to stand on a level surface. This sounds uncomplicated but it is vital.
When positioning the longcase clock adjacent to the wall you may discover that the floor covering or rug is not uniform. Or perhaps the floor itself is uneven next to the wall.
If the clock tilts in one direction you will need to even it out.
* Pendulums have front and back sides that are distinguishable. The front face of the pendulum is in most cases the the flat face.
The pendulum of the clock must not be obstructed by touching any side of the case. If it brushes against the case maybe it means that the case leans away from vertical.
* The block of weights that supply energy to the clock should be free of the pendulum. They should not brush against the pendulum or the casing when they fall.
* When you set the pendulum swinging listen carefully for a constant ticking sound. The beat should be of fixed interval.
If you hear an uneven sound in all likelihood it is because the clock is not placed on a level surface. Try to straighten it out and readjust as required.
* When you change the time do not shift the clock hands backwards more than just a few minutes. And never move them rearwards by the mid night mark.
It is alright to shift the clock hands forwards. When running them past the mid day mark pause until the grandfather clock has completed striking the hour before you continue.
* If the grandfather clock runs too slow vary the length of the pendulum.
Increment the length to diminish the clock speed. Decrease the pendulum length to to speed up the clock.
