Old Clocks.

The old brass clocks went only thirty
hours, and were set in motion by weight
attached to chain which passed over a
eheave having spikes in the groove which
caught in the links of the chain and re-
quired to be drawn up every day. There
was counterpoise at the other end of the
chain, and sometimes a single weight was
contrived to serve both the going and the
striking parts, and there was occasionally
an alarm. On the introduction OF the
long pendulum clocks seemedto have assum-
cd a different character. CatgUt was sub
stituted for the chain, and barrels were in
troduced on which the catgut was wound up,
and, greater length ofline being employ
ed, clocks were made to go for eight days
instead of thirty hours, and Chime ofbells
playing every quarter of an hour was c'ten
added the weights and long pendulum
hung down, and IS there was danger of
their action being interfered with, tall
wooden cases were made to protect them, on
the top ofwhich the movement was placed.
This was, believe the origin and date Of
tall, upright clock cases, which were often
made of ornamental woods and enriched
with fine marquctry. have one myselfin
an carly marquetry case, made.bg Thomp-
son Tompion, with beautiful set ofchimes,
about 1890, and it is an admirable time

cases are made Of oak and walnut, the ma
hogany cases being of the following CEN
tury, when that wood was introduced.
The "brass button and pillar clocks seem
10 have gone out of use about this time, and
probably few were made at the end of the
seventeenth century. With regard to the
name of the brass clocks, have heard them
called very many years ago button and
pillar clocks" The meaning and origin Of
the name / cannot tell unless it is derived
from the pillars at the corners. aadthe hook
