This is another grandfather clock. It is fully mechanical. No scripting was done and no motors drive the normal operation of the clock. Motors are only used to set the time or to wind the clock.
-Time setting made easy, use arrow keys or drag tool
-Chime silence
-Pulleys above the weights reduce the effect of the changing chain's mass on the gear trains
-No calibration needed - rack strike mechanism eliminates the need of countwheel calibration
-Chimes once on the half hour and the correct number of times on the hour
-Winding needed only once a week
Operating instructions:
To wind the clock, press and hold enter for the time train and use the up arrow key for the strike train. Hold until the pulley wheel is at the top and then let go. The weight may bounce around for a few seconds after winding due to the chain glitch. Tap the wind key a few more times until the pulley is hidden in the top for a full winding.
To silence the strike: pull down the lever on the left side. To turn it back on, pull it back up. When you turn it back on, if not in warning, the clock will chime once to indicate that it has been turned on. Do not silence the strike while the clock is chiming or in the 5 minutes before the hour or half hour.
To set the time: first, silence the strike mechanism. Then, use left and right arrow keys and the the drag tool for fine adjustments. When done, turn the strike mechanism back on if desired.
To see the mechanism inside: adjust the transparency of the white clock face. You should know how to do this under the appearance property of the white clock face.
