Hello All,
I've been contemplating designing/building a clock movement for some time now. And despite a fair amount of reading, I must admit I don't have all the answers.
Thus far I have been able to work up the attached spreadsheet for the going train. When working out the ratios I wanted to keep with a single module, and common pinion leaf number to keep cutter cost down. I believe I will end up needing a cock for the intermediate wheel due to its neighbours diameters.
I am wondering if anyone has feedback on the selected ratios shown?
Also, when manufacturing a clock from scratch, and with known module cutters, would one still use a depthing tool for layout or would you place the bushing at the theoretical ideal location instead.
Thanks
