HOW A GRANDFATHER CLOCK WORKS?
A grandfather clock is a freestanding floor clock with a pendulum which is driven by weights. William Clement, an English clockmaker, developed this type of clock in 1670. They are sometimes referred to as longcase and striking clocks. A modern longcase clock is referred to as a grandfather clock and has eight-day movements which are different from the earlier longcase clocks. Traditionally, there were two types of longcase clocks, an eight-day one that had to be wound once a week and a thirty hour clock which had to be wound once a day. The modern longcase clock is usually driven by weights suspended by a cable wrapped around a pulley and is wound by inserting a crank key into a hole of the face of the clock and turning it. There are chain-driven ones that are wound by pulling the chain on the weights until the weights reach the top, right under the face of the clock. The left weight of a modern grandfather clock, which contains three weights, controls the striking on the hour, the middle weight controls the pendulum and keeps the time correct, and the right weight controls the quarter-hour chiming sequences. For the pendulum to swing properly, the clocks must be absolutely level on the floor. Westminster Quarters are installed in most modern grandfather clocks but some offer Whittington Chimes or Michael’s Chimes. One-fourth of the chime sequence sounds on 15 minutes past the hour, one-half of the chime sequence sounds on 30 minutes past the hour, three-fourths of the chime sequence sounds on quarter past the hour, and the remaining chime sequence sounds on the hour. Grandfather clocks got their name in 1876 when a song was written by H.C. Work called My Grandfather’s Clock. This was written in remembrance of two brothers who worked as managers at a hotel in England. When the first brother died, the clock began to lose time. When the other brother died, the clock quit working altogether. The longcase clocks were routinely called grandfather clocks from that time on.
What are physical characteristics of a clock?
If we dont have clock so we can not do any work at the time clock we need more and more .
What are the subsystems of a clock?
wheel crank electricity counter weight

How do the hands on a clock turn?
They are turned by a gear train, which in turn is driven by a spring-driven, weight-driven, or electric motor. Their direction of rotation is normally clockwise when viewing the clock's "face".
How do you wind a grandfather clock?
If it's a cable driven, use a crank and place it in the keyhole and turn it. If it's chain driven, same way you'd wind a cuckoo clock, pull the end with the ring to raise the weight to the base of the clock.
What is mean by clock driven approach?
Clock-driven (time-driven) schedulers - Scheduling decisions are made at specific time instants, which are typically chosen a priori. • Priority-driven schedulers - Scheduling decisions are made when particular events in the system occur, e.g. • a job becomes available • processor becomes idle - Work-conserving: processor is busy whenever there is work to be done.

How can you get your cuckoo clock to cuckoo slower?
Use a weight light than the recommended weight for your clock and and hook it on to the chain which controls the cuckoo.

What is the oil type for a 1989 dodge w-350 transfer case?
standard 80-90 weight gear oil will work if it's a gear-driven case, like the NP 205 I'm not sure about the belt driven type (NP 203) but I think it was a bit lighter weight
What time after 4 o'clock will the hands of the continuously driven clock from a right angle?
About 5 after 4.
You need information on Grandmother clocks you have a three weight chain driven movements I need to know the proper placement of the weights?
The centre weight is the clock weight. The left hand is the hour and the right hand the quarter hour. So if all weights the same, position is not critical. If two are heavy they go to the outsides. If one is heavy it goes to the middle
