How to set up a longcase clock in your home
Putting in an elegant grandfather clock in your home or office involves a bit of care. Else you may end up damaging it. Here are some points you need to look at.* A longcase clock always need to be set up on a plane horizontal surface. This is a simple point but it is also very important.
When setting the longcase clock besides the wall you may observe that the floor cover is not uniformly thick. Or it may be that the the floor is not uniform at the wall junction.
If the case tilts towards one side you must necessarily get it standing vertically.
* Pendulums have front and back sides you can tell apart. The front of the pendulum is generally the the flat highly polished side.
The grandfather clock pendulum remain free of the sides of the case. If it comes into contact with the case it could mean that the clock tower lists.
* The arrangement of weights that energize the clock should be free of obstructions. They should collide with the pendulum or the sides of the clock as they fall.
* When you start the pendulum in motion check it out for a steady tick tock sound. It should be regularly spaced.
If the sound is not even in all probability it is because the case is not vertical. Try creating a level surface and readjust as required.
* When correcting the time do not move the hands of your clock towards the back further than just a few minutes. Never move them back over the number twelve.
It is okay to shift the hands forward. When moving over the mid day mark wait until your antique clock has finished striking the hour before carrying on.
* If your clock runs too slow vary the pendulums length.
Increase the length to lessen the speed of the clock. Reduce the pendulum length to to make the clock go more quickly.
If you are unsure you can set up the antique longcase clock ask the dealer to install it. Revel In the look of gracefulness the clock imparts to your interiors!
