Eight-Day Weight Driven Movement Weights?

[TomT]

I have a weight driven 8-day movement that I'm restoring and don't know much about weight requirements for this type of movement. I use standard 3lb. weights with the 30 hr movements I've done, but don't know if the 8-day would require more since the drop is essentially the same as for a 30 hour, but is geared down a lot more.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks for the help folks......

Thanks,
That's a great idea. I've got the fish scale so I'm in business.
