E Howard Tower Clock

@Zionclock Yes, that is exactly what I meant! In the picture I had in my last post, you can see the spring loaded clutch near the center of the picture. Behind that is the 60 hole wheel, and behind that is the solid brass release wheel. Behind that is the bottom wheel of the perpendicular shaft...

E Howard Tower Clock

I don't think you will have a problem with the chiming. According to my knowledge and what I remember: The clutch (spring loaded pin) prevents the movement from being damaged as the vertical time shaft is turned forward. That vertical shaft is connected to a wheel with 4 "release pins" (4...

Need a place to have a street clock appraised in the chicagoland area.

I don't want to speak for him, but Mr. Fanchaps isn't too far from Chicago. Send him a PM https://mb.nawcc.org/member.php?u=18 or check out his website http://clocknut.com/

E Howard Instructions, care of tower clock

This is from the wall of the clock room in St. Stephen's Lutheran, Milwaukee, WI. I'm the current clockeeper. This appears to be the original from 1879. https://mb.nawcc.org/picture.php?albumid=348&pictureid=2050

Haas Bahnhausle wood plate Cuckoo Quail

Dang! Where do you people find such nice clocks. I've been looking for a wood plate quail. I just don't know where to look yet.;) Nice clock by the way. I love the decoration. Most, if not all wood plate cuckoos have the pipes attached to the movement. See a few Beha painting clocks for examples.

1879 E. Howard Tower Clock: St. Stephen's Lutheran, Milwaukee, WI

Thank you Sam, that solves one mystery. Also the top portion of that threaded piece is about the size of the slot I described earlier, and seems to be attached to the pendulum rod the same way. The two sections of pendulum rod look like they would have been spliced together in this way. I will...

If you can spare 10 minutes

I've seen this before. It's just amazing. I wonder how long it took to make. I'm happy Prague appreciates their clock.

1879 E. Howard Tower Clock: St. Stephen's Lutheran, Milwaukee, WI

The latest update for the clock: Last Saturday I gave a tour of the clock to Craig White, Ch 47's president. A few more tours will be given to discuss what will be done. There definitely will be much involvement with chapter 47. A serial number was discovered after some scrubbing with a...
