Communitech Clock

Installation Date : December 2018

Customer : Communitech

Materials : Baltic birch plywood, walnut, steel, bronze, leather

Clock Number : Six

Style : Wall mounted, dialless, motor driven

Size : 600mm Wide by 1,450mm High by 270mm Deep

Notes/Comments : The clock is complete with respect to assembly. The only thing remaining is the the tuning of the pendulum. At the moment the clock is running about four minutes slow per day. By moving the blocks on the pendulum up or down you change the speed at which the clock ticks. I like to have about plus or minus two minutes a week or better. (18/11/15)

Installed 18/12/10. (See last picture.) Will follow up for possible time tuning on 18/12/14.
