|
| This is the clock movement bench
where the movement is photographed,
inspected, repaired, and reassembled. The
computer displays reference information,
images of the movement, and a "sound
graph" of the amplified ticking to
verify that the finished movement is in
beat. |
|
| All parts are carefully checked for proper fit. Excessively worn pivot holes are reamed out and precision bushings installed to ensure proper operation and long life. |
|
| Each part of a disassembled clock
movement is carefully inspected and hand
cleaned [above] in one or several cleaning
solutions as appropriate for that
movement, or ultrasonically cleaned [below], or a combination both. |
|
| Parts undergoing ultrasonic cleaning in a special clock cleaning solution. |
|
| A reassembled clock movement is electronically calibrated to ensure that it is "in beat" and will keep time when reinstalled in the clock case. |
|
| Across the room is this bench where
case repair and other less clean
operations are performed. |
|
| This small lathe sees a lot of use in
turning and polishing rough and worn
clock pivots, as well as fabricating
special parts and tools..... |
|
| .....and for the big jobs, this old
9-inch South Bend from the 1920s can
still get the job done! |
|
| This level wall shelf is one of
several locations where a finish clock is
allowed to run for a couple of weeks to
facilitate final testing and regulating
before being returned to the
customer. |
|
| This strange looking contraption is a
custom made test rack that can support a
variety of clock movements, including
weight powered movements and complete
cuckoo clocks. Undergoing a test run when
this picture was taken is a weight
powered wooden movement from the
1830s. |
