A clock drowning in motor oil... glad it's still working. I'm not a clockmaker, but I believe the practice for those oil-holes was to dip a matchstick in clock-oil and let the drip fall off the matchstick into the hole. Once every six months. But I could be wrong.

Something hypnotic and mystical about the slow, deep ticking of very large clocks! 💕⏰⏱🕰🕑💕

I think the pendulum needs to be checked it has an uneven beat in the tick so that is why the time is a few minutes late. The beat is not even. Also 8:59 for the ringing of the bell.

It should be an even tic-tock, but why not lengthen (1/2 - 2/3 turns to lower the weight) the pendulum, instead of adjusting the time once a week? (I know what you meen ;) )

If it does have an 'uneven beat' the pendulum will not be the cause. More likely the pallets are worn and need adjustment.

@@carwashslayer4235 The beat of a clock comes from the action of the escapement - the relationship between the anchor and the escapement wheel. The points of contact between the two are the pallets. If these are unevenly worn, or just badly adjusted, you will get an uneven beat. I can't imagine any way you could get an uneven beat from some fault in the pendulum.

If you see other youtube clock towers, shows very little need for oil. most clock beds had to be rebuilt because of gummed up oil on the mechanisms. Why is Bulfinch church clock need oiling??
