He further told us some of the history of Earnshaw and the interesting fact that they had pieces numbered close to my watch, which is #3484.

Escapement mechanism is a device designed to maintain a constant average speed of the escape wheel, by allowing it to rotate to the desired angle at certain impulse of time. While doing that it simultaneously support the oscillations of the pendulum or balance spring, by compensating for friction losses and air resistance. 7 century long history of escapement mechanisms, from 13th century verge mechanism up to modern-day escapements that can be found in luxury watches, will be shortly presented. Through lives of famous clockmakers and their achievements in field of making escapement mechanism will be given a new insight in science of time keeping - horology.

  • The History of the Church Clock St Pauls Church Woodhouse Eaves Leicestershire
    The History Of The Church Clock St Pauls Church Woodhouse Eaves Leicestershire. By Maria Jansen Page 1 of 16 Introduction There has always been a mystery surrounding the Church Clock, or Village Clock as it was sometimes known. The information contained in this research seeks to solve some of these and has recently unearthed some interesting and informative old documents, copies of which are referred to in this document and can be found in the Appendices. Design St Paul’s Church Woodhouse Eaves and St Peter’s Copt Oak were two of many of the churches designed by architect William Railton. For these two local churches he used the same design as can be seen at the bottom of original sketch ‘Design of the churches at Woodhouse Eaves and Copt Oak of Charnwood Forest Leicestershire’ [Figure 1] and were built about the same time in 1836/7. Figure 1: Copy of William Railton original architect design 18351 1 ‘Design of the Churches at Woodhouse Eaves and Copt Oak, on Charnwood Forest, Leicestershire by William Railton’, Incorporated Church Building Society (ICBS), Lambeth Palace Library online [http://images.lambethpalacelibrary.org.uk/luna/servlet/s/ubaajd] Page 2 of 16 St Paul’s and St Peter churches were not originally designed with a clock installed, as can be seen in the original design. However St Paul’s has undergone many alterations over the years, including the installation of the clock and two clock faces. St Peter at Copt Oak [Figure 2] remains today with no clock installed and with the original ‘window’, hood moulds and foliage label stops, which can be seen clearly over the front door and triple lancet bell openings on each face with parapet and pinnacles.

  • The Greenwich Clock at Towneley by Tony Kitto
    The Greenwich Clock at Towneley by Tony Kitto Towneley Hall Art Gallery and Museums 2007 Copyright Burnley Borough Council Reading the time from the Greenwich Clock The hour hand goes round the dial once every twelve hours in the usual way but the minute and second hands take twice as long as is normal. It takes 2 hours for the minute hand to go round. At the top of the dial, starting at 12 o'clock, there are 60 divisions of one minute down to 6 o'clock and another 60 divisions back to 12 o'clock. The minutes are difficult to read because the minute hand shares the same dial as the hour hand. In comparison, it is relatively easy to read the second hand. The second hand goes round its own dial with 120 divisions, marked out in 10 second periods, once every 2 minutes. We expect a minute hand to go round the dial once an hour. Most people estimate the time from the angle of the minute hand but that is misleading when looking at this clock. 2:00 ? 2:15 ? 3:30 ? 3:45? 4:00? yes no, its 2:30 no, its 3:00 no, its 3:30 yes The Greenwich Clock at Towneley The Greenwich Clock in the entrance hall at Towneley is a reconstruction of one of a pair of clocks presented to the Royal Observatory at Greenwich by Sir Jonas Moore in 1676. It was made in 1999 by Alan Smith of Worsley, Greater Manchester, to show how the original clocks worked.
