are enclosed in six barrels or boxes; three are con-
nected with chains to a fuzee on the right hand and
three on the left. The power is thus concentrated in
the pinion on the second great wheel, and is conveyed
up the train of wheels and pinions to the pallets
which are connected with the pendulum. The power
is here reduced to a few grains; but is quite sufficient
to keep the pendulum in constant motion. After the
clock is first wound up the chain unwinds from the
