Knowledge and facts about patterns for grandfather clocks
* Longcase clocks work fine only if they are set up on a surface that is level. This sounds simple but it is critical for its functioning.
When positiioning the grandfather clock flush next to the wall you may discover that the surfacing or carpet thickness is irregular. Or possibly the flooring lacks evenness where it meets the wall.
If the clock tilts towards any side you must necessarily get it standing vertically.
* Longcase Clock Pendulums have an identifiable front side. The front face of the pendulum in most cases is the the side that is polished and flat.
The pendulum bob must remain clear of the sides of the case. If it makes contact with the case walls maybe it means that the clock leans to one side.
* The group of weights that power the clock should stand free of impediments. They should not brush against the pendulum or the casing when they descend.
* When you start up the clock by swinging the pendulum check for a steady tick tock sound. The beat should be regularly spaced.
If it is not regular it is often because the clock is not standing vertically. Try to straighten it out and make required changes.
* When changing the time do not move the hands of the clock backwards further than a few minutes. Never shift them towards the back by the twelve o clock mark.
It is fine to run the hands of the clock forward. When shifting over the mid night mark hold on until your longcase clock has finished sounding the hour chime before you proceed further.
* If the grandfather clock runs slow or fast increase or decrease the pendulums length.
Add to the length to cut back on the speed. Shorten it to to make the clock go more quickly.
