Grandfather Clock Movement – 3 Types of Clock Movement
Long case clocks, tallcase clocks, and grandfather longcase clocks refer to the same thing. Grandfather clocks have many names and they happen to be among the ancient models existing today. A typical grandfather clock is tall, freestanding and its pendulum is fitted inside a lovely long narrow casing. The ancient clocks were plainly mechanical wooden boxes that covered a substantial floor space. The modern grandfather clocks are still big but the wall clock options are available. The shape of the clock face and case has been altered since the mid seventeenth century. Another element that has been changed over the years is the grandfather clock movement.
In the olden days, the longcase grandfather clocks were manufactured with two types of movements. There was the eight-day movement and the 30-hour or one-day movement.
