Just a query... my job involves selling used floor clocks and delivering/setting up nationwide, in customer homes.
I have been in this job for 30 yrs now and spend way too much time trying to put the clocks into what I consider near on 'perfect beat' This can be a very tedious and time taking job to achieve! I do not always manage to set the beat exactly as I want but have to walk eventually!
I just wondered if there are many other clock repairmen on here who are similar ? I guess when you deliver a clock several hundred miles away its natural to try and ensure that the beat is set as accurately as possible.
I would like your views on beat setting and how important it is to achieve the ideal adjustment?
(I am not talking about the more modern movements with automatic adjustment)
Thanks as always
