stumac Posted April 23, 2008 Share #3 Posted April 23, 2008 Agree with Martin, is it the works of a town hall clock? Regards, Stuart Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elansprint72 Posted April 23, 2008 Share #4 Posted April 23, 2008 Abe Lincoln's pocket watch? I'm trying to figure how the parabolic ratchet pawl thingy works; at first I thought that it was part of a striking mechanism but on reflection it is possibly a regulator? Thanks for posting.

stumac Posted April 23, 2008 Share #5 Posted April 23, 2008 Pete, I think you are right re striking, 12 steps on the snail cam select the no of strikes of the hour. Regards, Stuart Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
roguewave Posted April 23, 2008 Author Share #6 Posted April 23, 2008 Holy Cow! Pete, you're encyclopedic. This is the old Church clock mechanism in St Mark's Episcopal Church (Peter Stuyvesant's homestead & church). It's lying in disrepair, outside, unprotected in the back of the church. I berated several senior churchman in positions of authority to no avail about this travisty. It's future is undetermined. You guys are something.

Michael Hiles Posted April 23, 2008 Share #7 Posted April 23, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) This is the old Church clock mechanism... I berated several senior churchman in positions of authority to no avail... Nice photo. A regular Rolex. Senior churchmen in a position of authority do not often respond to berating, at least around here. When Madame Tussaud's did a christmas chreche scene recently with David and Victoria Beckham in the principle roles, Lambeth Palace (Archbishop of Canturbury) was asked for a reaction. Their response was "Deary, deary me.":rolleyes: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
