A LARGE BALANCE WHEEL ELECTRIC CLOCK by JOHN WILDING Wheels to be crossed out / Pinions supplied on stubs to be cut off and fitted to arbor 1/2/3 or 4 pinions on one stub PHOTO ALL PRICES PLUS POSTAGE & PACKING
This clock is based on the Murday-Reason battery electric
clock manufactured in Brighton at the beginning of the last century. I have
however introduced several modifications to the original clock. The balance
staff in my design runs in ball races and I have simplified the mechanical
arrangement for the drive to the hands. In addition I have made an alteration
to the general design of the frame to both simplify the constructions and
increase the height slightly. Some of these modifications have been introduced
deliberately to discourage attempts at producing fake copies of the original.
I am often asked by various societies to do this. This is an impressive clock
and the oscillation of the large balance wheel is spectacular in its action.
The clock employs the 'Hipp' toggle principle to maintain the swings of the
balance, and runs off a 3 volt battery supply. The machining can be carried
out on the Myford ML 7 or a lathe of equivalent size. The largest diameter to
be accomodated is the 5" diameter balance. Full descriptions of all parts
of the construction are given in the manual including winding the coils.
Details and addresses of the suppliers of the materials are given in the text
and the balance spring is
