message: Is there a source for the Fedchenko clock?  The Shortt clock is well documented but I haven't succeeded in finding details about Fedchenko's clock.  The one article I found (about a hobbyist's copy of the design) didn't sound like anything that could come close to challenging the Shortt clock.   Paul Koning 16:44, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Hope this isn't nitpicking, but I think the more widely-used term for this type of pendulum is 'torsion pendulum', although 'torsion-spring pendulum' is more specific and distinguishes it better from the ordinary type of pendulum.   I googled both terms and there are a lot more webpages that refer to 'torsion pendulum' clocks.  Also, there is a Torsion pendulum clock article that should be linked to this section.  What about changing the name of this well-written section to Torsion pendulum?  --Chetvorno 21:18, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think either name makes sense.  The object described there is a balance, not a pendulum. So I would call it either torsion balance, or torsion spring balance -- because the thing is a balance and its balance spring is a torsion spring. Paul Koning 14:26, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the difference is functional, not structural.  Torsion pendulums used in scientific experiments as sensitive balances to measure forces, as in the Cavendish experiment, are generally called torsion balances. Torsion pendulums used as harmonic oscillators, for their vibrating, timekeeping properties, as in anniversary clocks are called torsion pendulums. --Chetvorno 14:01, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

text: I hope no one minds, I changed the term. --Chetvorno 14:01, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Is there a good reason to use the fuzzy term "pushes" instead of the precise term "impulses"? Paul Koning (talk) 12:00, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

message: I just removed a section entitled "pendulum parts" which was located below "escapement".  It was a less-informative rehash of the mechanism section, which had apparently been taken directly from another website.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.246.103.93 (talk) 18:22, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
