Chime Clock

Why does Ridgeway clock not chime?

Ridgeway grandfather clock runs, keeps very good time, but does not chime. Is it possible the chains could have been reversed so it would not chime?
The lever does not go all the way down. Clock is one we bought for my Mother and Father and Mother did something to silence the chimes while Father was bidridden. Both are now deceased and we are trying to determine what Mother did to clock.

I agree with Morris, first check to see if there is a level that turns the chimes off. Many clocks have this feature. Others have a feature that turns off the chimes at night.

The Swing Of The Pendulum Of Your Grandfather Clock

How well do you know your grandfather clock? Knowing how your tall clock works will make it easier for you. It's like having your husband around all the time.

How well do you know your grandfather clock?

Everyday you glance admiringly at your new 7-foot tall clock. It has brightened up your living room, making the room homier. It was the perfect touch. You never had this so good when doing your own interior decorating.

But do you know everything about your clock? If you can point out the pendulum bob and the cable pulleys, then you know something. If you can't tell the difference, it's time to skim through the manual of your grandfather clock.

The swing of the pendulum

If you think your time counter is just an accessory to be admired, you're dead wrong. This type of clock tells the time accurately and keeps time within a minute per month. The gears inside the clock are controlled by the swinging pendulum year in and year out - and of course will wear and tear without proper care.

The pendulum (made from brass and steel) of your clock is suspended from secure cables, and moves back and forth - influenced by gravity. This regulates the clock and alerts the system to release the power of the right rate. The longer or shorter the pendulum is, the slower or faster the swing.

The swinging pendulum is counting time. This is complemented by mechanical systems of gears, levers, spring, and catches. The movement of the mechanical levers, wheels and gears are controlled to calculate the accurate tick of the second, minute, and hour hands. You can adjust the swing of the pendulum slower or faster by just adjusting the ball of the pendulum slightly.

Chimes

At the hour, the spring driven hammers will strike the tubular bells. Some grandfather clocks will allow for the selection of melodies. If your clock has three melodies, you can change the melody when the minute hand is set in the safe time area.

When the chimes stop, you can move the minute hand counterclockwise. If there is some resistance, better call the supplier to do the job for you. Never attempt to touch the chime lever when the clock is chiming or you will damage the chime system. You can follow the illustrated manual that came with your grandfather clock.

Weights

Observe that there are three weights in the case of your grandfather clock. The left powers the hour strike, the center is for time, and the right weight is for the melody.

These weights, attached to a chain or a cable, should be raised every 7 days or the clock will stop. For cable driven weights, a crank will be available. For chain driven weights, the loose end of the chain is pulled down.

There are more things to learn to appreciate how the system inside works. In time, you'll be comfortable with your clock. In the meantime, don't mess with your grandfather clock, just let the pendulum swing.

Chime Clock

My cuckoo clock does not chime?

Hello, I just bought a new cuckoo clock with music. I installed everything according to instructions. But the clock does not chime on half hour or full hour.

I take it this is a standard cuckcoo that is weight driven? If so, there are two reasons your clock may not chime. Either the chain that drives to striking mechanism has come off the gear inside the clock, or the striking hammer is not in proper alignment with the chime coil.

Move the hands to an hour to make it chime and watch the weights. One of them should drop slightly as it is chiming. Also listen for mechanical noises or movement inside the clock. If you don't see this, the chain is not engaged properly on the striking gear inside. If you see this action, and hear the movement, you need to bend the striking hammer to align with the gong coil inside.

Musical clock

Please help improve this article by adding reliable references. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (November 2006)

A Musical clock is a clock that marks the hours of the day with a musical tune played from a spiked cylinder either on bells, organ pipes, bellows, combs and even dulcimer strings. The earliest ones began in mainly churches and would be used to mark times for the public and for farmers in fields to tell them when it was sunset dawn and lunchtime.

Some musical clocks play a tune each hour where as others are known to play every 3 to 4 hours. This is seen by many to be an idea originated to do with Roman and Angelus times.

The earliest known domestic one is by Nicholas Vallin, made in 1598, and it currently resides in the British Museum in London. This clock plays a different piece of music on every 1/4 hour. However some purists argue this clock is still technically a quarter chiming clock due to the quarter past melody only being around 8 notes long. The hour melody is certainly a tune though.

In terms of domestic clocksost particular early onesll the European clocks played tunes on carillons of bells from a large spiked drum within the clock. Many of these were in bracket clock form and there are a majority of longcase ones too. Some played their tunes each hour while others played every 3 or 4 hours usually either preceded or followed by the hour strikes.

The black forest later started to make trumpeteer musical clocks which played on horn bellows and have animated figures appear (usually of some kind of trumpeter), and appear to be blowing out the tune. Some of the London clock makers also started using organ mechanisms and coned cylinder-type music boxes; some were even combined with a set of bells to play tunes using both instruments implemented, although these are much rarer.

Musical clocks are even more interesting in the context that they can play music using as few as 6 bells but usually with multiple hammers for quick note succession, but on average most would have 8, 10, 12 or 13 bells and multiple hammers, particularly if it has a lot more complex tunes. There are always exceptions and there are musical clocks out there with 16 to even 20 bells and usually have around 1415 different tunes. On average most have 27 tunes selectable via a subsidiary dial.

In fact, some musical clocks were made with interchangeable spike drums allowing the owner to peg them to play whatever tune they desired, although these were very rare. Most all had their own specially made music spiked drums.

No matter what kind of musical clock it is: a turret/church clock, a bracket clock, a carriage clock, a longcase clock, an organ clock, or whatever else, the same basic system of how the clock plays its tunes is the same. It all revolves around a large cylinder which is spiked and pushed the relevant hammers or combs.

Beginning in the 1988, Rhythm Small World Clocks introduced modern battery powered musical clocks. Storing their music on computer chips, the first models played 6 melodies in rotation. Newer clocks play up to 18 melodies including Christmas tunes. Rhythm Small World Clocks was the only major brand in the market until 2000 when Seiko introduced their Melodies in Motion Clocks. Both Seiko and Rhythm musical clocks perform a new melody every hour on the hour and feature a light sensor which automatically switches off the music in the dark. Modern musical clocks play popular, country, classical or holiday melodies. The most popular modern musical clocks have elaborate motions where the clock face opens up revealing crystals, flashing lights, or other eye catching details.

Chime Mantle Clock

need help setting antique enfield mantle clock!?

Clock was given to me. It is my first antique clock. It has two holes on the front for winding. I think it has to be wound every seven days. A short time after receiving the clock it stopped. I took it to a repair shop and they said the mechanics just needed cleaning. They cleaned it and it worked fine, even the chimes. Then we went on vacation for two weeks and when we returned I set the clock and winded. It did not even run for an entire day. Maybe I need instuctions on setting properly. Please help!

Did you set the pendulum in motion? It won't run until you do that. The other possibility is that you wound it too tightly..try getting the pendulum moving on its own (it may stop a few times before it loosens up enough to work on its own). Other than that, its back to the repairman.

The Brass Carriage Clock and its Timeless Beauty

Brass carriage clocks are timepieces that have been around since the 19th Century, during the period where people still made use of horse drawn carriages for transportation. Since people never wore wristwatches during that era, they used brass carriage clocks to keep track of time. The clocks were durable in order to withstand the difficulty of long trips by land or by sea, and to resist the strain of different weather conditions.

Aside from the clock’s sturdiness, it is also elegant and classy. It has ornate and detailed features like gemstones, inlaid enamel, porcelain and foliage. It contains a glass window that makes it clear to read and though the hands are frequently painted black, the porcelain face is usually painted with natural scenes. It is also equipped to play songs and to chime at every hour. In some cases, the top of the clock includes a large resonant bell which is rung every hour or half hour.

Brass carriage clocks were considered as a sign of status since they were especially made for the upper classes who were the only ones who could afford to travel often and to take such luxuries with them. Fortunately for those of us who were not born with the wealth of the upper class, mass production of the clocks became possible in the 1830's, making the carriage clock more widely available to others. Around the end of the 1860's, brass carriage clocks became common as presents during special occasions like birthdays, weddings, and also for political and royal celebrations.

Unfortunately, with the increased popularity of wristwatches, Brass carriage clocks became a thing of the past. At present, it is mainly used as decorative mantle pieces that add beauty and elegance to homes commonly with an antique setting; although it could also be used as a decoration for modern set-homes because of its distinctive elegance. Some use it as a collection piece that is passed on from generation to generation. It is also an excellent gift idea for special occasions like weddings, birthdays, and anniversaries.

Despite being considered a thing of the past, the clocks are still sold in a lot of online and antique shops. Though it was replaced by modern clocks, with regards to popularity, the brass carriage clock's beauty, elegance and distinctiveness could never be replaced by the modern and digital clocks of today.

Why Purchase A Vintage Clock?

Antique collectible clocks are an investment in history. They allow you to benefit from the splendor of old world skill and the beauty associated with their work.   A modern digital clock on your night stand plays the radio to wake you up.  However, this cannot compare to the gentle chiming sound or bell that is heard from your living room, alerting you to the time in a soothing musical way.  That is what an antique clock is all about.  They are different in the world of antiques, in that they are an actual functioning bit of art.  At least they should be, since they are a timepiece as well as a showpiece.

Antique clocks are furniture. They adorn your home in a special fashion.  The longcase clock was actually derived from a wall hanging pendulum clock, with the case added to close in the pendulum. Since then, the longcase clock has become a form of art in itself and is highly coveted by antique collectors and clock enthusiasts. As is the case with any type of furniture, there are many things that determine its worth and appeal; especially its life, workmanship and appearance. Top quality longcase clocks from the 1700's have been known to have values of around $500,000.00.

In the past, the grandfather clock or longcase clock as it is sometimes called was everywhere.  In those days, the houses had very high ceilings, so there was no problem setting it up in the living room or hallway.  However, today, the ceilings are much lower. Therefore, if you are interested in buying a longcase clock, be sure to check the height of your ceiling and the measurements of your front door.  You want to be able to bring it in without damage.

However, if you want a smaller collector piece, a vintage mantel clock will undoubtedly enrich your household both in elegance and value. Picture a small mantel clock that can fit on the mantel piece or shelf, adding allure to your home and increasing in worth through the years.  It is the perfect family heirloom.

Mantel clocks are usually put on a shelf or on top of a fireplace, and therefore, are pretty small and lightweight.  The antique mantel clock is different from the vintage wall clock, whose movements are upward set on the back board.  Mantel clock movements lay on a seat board.     Some old-fashioned mantel clocks, in particular, the French styles, are ornately adorned pieces. They are wound by a key and also have a swinging pendulum. The vintage French mantel clock is very elaborate, with many of them featuring little angelic figures.

In conclusion, there are many different types of vintage clocks to choose from.  Any style would be a lovely addition to your home decor.  However, if an actual vintage clock is out of your price range, you can always purchase a nice antique clock replica.

Do you ever wish that inanimate possessions in your home would come to life? Comments please - thanks?

This is a fun read. It made me smile while I wrote it and I would love it to happen.

This is clever and lighthearted and makes me smile. As I look around my living room I see the cast iron kitty cat that is always sleeping and once belonged to my paternal, Irish grandfather. It came woven with many tales from Grandpa Jack. I see the white antique pitchers on my table and wonder what stories lie behind them during the years they belonged to my maternal grandmother.I loved your creativity and visualization.!
