what a great video. I always stop every year on holidays to hear the clock chime.

Wonderful Machine

That mechanism is so much simpler than a full carillon, and it even has the nomenclature posted :)

Ver essas máquinas funcionando me encanta, porque eu já restaurei alguns relógio aqui no Brasil modelo Michelini da década de 1936, 1940 um deles parado durante 36 anos ás 17:36, no dia 07/07/2007 ás 17:36 quase 37 minutos coloquei para funcionar, outro parado durante 13 anos ás 07:23 minutos também eu restaurei por completo para preservar a história dos relógios Michelini iniciada em 1909 até 1969 na Fabrica em São Paulo uma Patente Italiana., Agora estou em uma empreitada difícila mas não impossível estou restaurando um relógio Holandês antigo 100 anos parado a 40 anos na torre da Paróquia São Sebastião na pequena cidade de Avaí/SP, é único na nossa região

Building needs maintenance to preserve the heritage of history. Such master pieces of clocks can't be reproduced.

The weighted arm at the front is part of a maintaining system, sometimes known as a 'bolt and shutter', which keeps the clock running while it is being wound. The arm is designed to prevent the winding handle from being attached unless it is raised, and the action of raising it both 'winds' and activates the maintaining mechanism - so however forgetful is the person doing the winding, the clock will keep the time. Also losing 5 minutes per week! There's obviously something wrong, it needs adjustment and repair by a qualified clock-maker.

what would happen if you turn hanfd back wards on this clock i do that with mantle clocks 1 time a year
@davidparsons51893 жыл бұрын
I assume your Mantle clock has no chime? If it doesn't then you can wind it back but if it does you will end up with the chime out of sync with the shown time.

Das ist eine sehr gut gepflegte Uhr. Wie genau geht die?

Lovely old clock. Shame they went to automatic winding. The bells could use a good cleaning, and it sounds like the strikers need an adjustment. Some closer shots of the mechanism would be nice.

At least it isn't fully electric It is a small Shame it has been converted to electric wind up, but at least the entire clock isn't powered by electric.

Where is that

Douglas - it's at the bottom of Finch Road, just below Crellin's Hill. - Very close to Strand Street and the car park, so a good place to visit when on a run to the street! :)

Perhaps an enthusiastic group of young healthy individuals with motivations of history or religion could be assembled to wind these tower clocks. Give them an order to belong to and maybe a certificate for their efforts. It would be an honour to wind such a clock and a form of physical fitness exercise that does useful work. My guess is insurance concerns would prevent that from happening.
