Essential facts about welding rod rectangular shaped pendulum clock
* A pendulum clock should always stand on a plane surface that is even. This is simple but it is vitally important.
When positioning it flush against the wall you may discover that the surfacing or carpet thickness is not the same everywhere. Or it may be true that the floor itself is uneven at the point where it meets the wall.
If the case tends to tilt away from vertical you must necessarily bring it to vertical.
* Longcase Clock Pendulums have front and back sides you can tell apart. The front end is generally the the side that is polished and more or less flat.
The pendulum bob be free of all the sides of the case. If it hits the case it could be that that the case is not vertical.
* The arrangement of weights that energize the clock should be free of obstructions. They should hit the pendulum or the clock walls when they drop.
* When you get the pendulum going check for a steady tick tock sound. The ticks should be regular and evenly spaced.
If the sound is not even it is possibly because the clock is not standing vertically. Try to straighten it out and make required adjustments.
* When changing the time avoid turning the hands of the clock rearwards by more than a few minutes. And under no circumstances move the clock hands back beyond the number twelve.
It is fine to shift the hands forwards. When turning them past the mid day mark pause till your antique clock is through with sounding the hour chime before you move on.
* If your longcase clock falls behind time alter the linear dimensions of the pendulum.
Increment the length to diminish the clocks speed. Reduce the pendulum length to make the clock go faster.
