Town Hall Clock - 1875

Hand wound clocks of this type are now rare, most having been converted to electric. The dial on the mechanism gives a reversed image of the minute fingers position on the clock face, important when altering the fingers, or winding the clock.

The functions of the clock are divided into three. 1. Movement of the fingers 2. Chiming the hours 3. Quarter chimes Each function is wound separately by applying the handle and winding the steel cable onto the drum.
