Report on longcase clock pillars
* Grandfather clocks work correctly only if they stand on an even level surface. This sounds elementary but it of great importance.
When placing the grandfather clock next to the wall you might discover that the floor cover is not uniform in thickness. Or it may be true that the floor is uneven near the wall.
If the case tilts and does not stand vertical you need to make up for it.
* The Pendulums On Clocks have identifiable front and reverse sides. The front face is commonly the the flat highly polished side.
The pendulum and bob should stay without touching any part of the case. If it comes into contact with the case it could mean that the clock does not stand vertical.
* The weights that propel the mechanism should stand free of impediments. They should hit the pendulum or the clocks sides when they drop.
* When you start up the pendulum listen carefully for a steady tick tock sound. The beat should be regularly spaced.
If it is not steady that could be because the clock is not vertically placed. Experiment a bit and adjust as required.
* When setting the time do not shift the hands rearwards more than just a few minutes. Dont ever shift them back beyond the mid night mark.
You can safely shift the clock hands forward. When moving them past the twelve o clock mark hold back until your antique clock is through with striking the bell at the hour mark before you continue.
* If the clock gets behind or pulls ahead of time modify the length of the pendulum arrangement.
Add to the length to lower the clocks speed. Decrease the pendulum length to to speed up the clock.
