hum Is not attached the frame the clock is usual
~ done but is suspended 20 strong iron support Sc
cured to a standard braeed with great strength, thus
preventing any possibility Of the rscking of the frame
that would occur from is vibrations with so heavy
body attached powerful winding gear Is affixed to
each barrel and the parts constructed that the pm
ion is shifted from barrel 10 the other, and olsen
gagged when the weights wound up. the
makers expect that this clock will run life time, and
so accurately not to vary minute In year. we
ha bo glad to chronicle the arrival Of this uuchde
