Here are the facts on howard miller clocks and costal point
* A longcase clock work fine only if they are set up on a plane and even surface. This sounds basic but it is vital.
When positioning the longcase clock next to the wall you may find out that the rug thickness is not the same everywhere. Or maybe the the floor surface is at a different height towards the wall.
If the case is leaning away from vertical it is necessary bring it to vertical.
* The Pendulums On Clocks have front and back sides you can tell apart. The front side in most cases is the the polished face.
The grandfather clock pendulum should swing free of all sides of the case. Should it hit the walls perhaps it means that the case stands at an angle.
* The weights that power the mechanism should stand free of impediments. They should not brush against the pendulum or the clock walls when they fall.
* When you set the pendulum swinging listen for a steady tick sound. The sound should be regular and evenly spaced.
If you hear an irregular sound it may be because the case tilts to one side. Try out different positions and make required alterations.
* When correcting the time avoid turning the grandfather clock hands rearwards more than just a few minutes. Do not ever shift the hands towards the back by the twelve o clock mark.
It is okay to turn the hands forward. When moving them past the twelve mark pause till your antique clock has finished sounding the hour chime before you carry on.
* If your clock goes too fast change the length of the pendulum.
Make it longer to lower the clocks speed. Shorten it to to make the clock go more quickly.
