Details about longcase thread size
* Pendulum clocks work correctly only if they stand on a plane surface that is even. This sounds uncomplicated but it is also very important.
When setting the longcase clock against the wall you might find that the carpet or other covering thickness is irregular. Or perhaps the floor is uneven towards the wall.
If the case tilts towards any side you will need to set it right.
* Clock Pendulums have an identifiable front side. The front is commonly the the polished face.
The longcase clock pendulum swing freely without coming into contact with any side of the case. If it brushes against the case perhaps it means that the surface on which it rests is not level.
* The weight sets that energize the clock should be free of obstructions. They should impact upon the pendulum or the sides of the walls when they drop.
* When you start the pendulum in motion check for a constant ticking sound. The sounds should be of fixed interval.
If you hear an uneven sound it could be because there are problems with the surface on which the clock stands. Try to level the surface and make necessary changes.
* When you set the time avoid shifting the hands of the clock backwards further than a few minutes. And certainly never shift the clock hands towards the back past the number twelve.
It is fine to move the clock hands forward. When moving past the mid night mark hold back till the clock has finished striking the bell at the hour mark before continuing.
* If your antique clock goes too fast decrease or increase the pendulums length.
Lengthen the pendulum to diminish the clocks speed. Trim back the pendulum length to have the clock pick up pace.
