Phil Wright and the folks at the Tower Clock Company continue to work on our courthouse clock parts. In addition to building us new dials and faces, they are also restoring the gear assemblies called "motion works" that give the minute and hour hands the proper ratios from the clock's movement to tell time as we see it on the outside of the building. In addition, they also restored the wood "lead-off rods" that turn each of the motion works assemblies.
Here's what they looked like before removal
Here's some pictures showing the progress on the motion works components and freshly restored wood lead-off rods. All the original parts are in very good condition.
Next the proper paint will be selected for top coating on the steel parts and Phil will machine a few small brass parts to allow proper mounting to the new dials.
Stay tuned for more updates soon!
Thanks for reading!
