Functional object - Clock components, Graeme Coates, 2019

Physical description

Clock components - comprising two springs and part of the pendulum of the Bundy Clock in the Training Room during the refurbishment of the clock by Graeme Coates during 2019. Returned to the depot 4/9/2019.



Found that the springs were too strong for the mechanism - they have been secured with plastic cable ties - do not undo they could cause serious injury.



The pendulum was too long - shortened by 72mm, consists of an oval shaped piece of wood and sealed.



Notes from Graeme:



1 - wind both springs at the same time



2 - always wind the hands forward to adjust the time



3 - the timing mechanism can be set by hand, the time is on the opposite side to that shown on the case.
