Report on longcase case construction
* Pendulum clocks should always stand on a surface that is horizontal. This sounds elementary but it is quite critical.
When setting the clock adjacent to the wall you might perhaps find out that the carpet or other covering thickness is not the same everywhere. Or it is possible that the the floor surface is at a different height towards the wall.
If the case is leaning towards one direction it is necessary bring it back to vertical.
* Grandfather Clock Pendulums have identifiable front and reverse sides. The pendulums front is generally the the flat side.
The pendulum and bob must swing free of the walls of the case. Should it collide with the walls it could mean that the case does not stand erect.
* The assembly of weights that propel the mechanism should stand clear of the pendulum and walls. They should hit the pendulum or any part of the casing or mechanism as they fall.
* When you start the pendulum moving check for a constant ticking sound. The sounds should be of fixed interval.
If it is not even that may be because the clock case does not stand up straight. Try out different positions and make required adjustments.
* When setting the time do not shift the clock hands towards the back further than just a few minutes. Do not ever turn them rearwards past the twelve mark.
It is fine to shift the hands forwards. When turning them past the twelve o clock mark pause till your clock is done with sounding the hour chime before you proceed.
* If the clock runs too slow or too fast modify the linear dimensions of the pendulum.
Increment the length to diminish the clocks speed. Shorten the length to to quicken the clock.
