Finished at last

I finally wrapped up my clock project. Today I put the restored movement in the case and ran new cable for the weights. It is keeping perfect time.

Picture shows weights, pendulum and bell relays. Each weight is 70 pounds. The brass tube on the left side of the clock contained a glass vial that was filled with glycerine and red dye. This was a visual check to see if you had an air leak in the system.

Cylinder below clock mechanism is the device to program when the school bells would ring
