Summary Of Gadget Funtion....

Removing the winding knobs and the back of the clock reveals the inside of the clock. By removing the stand, alarm bells, hands, face and mounting ring, we end up with the clock mechanism itself. This clock (like most table clocks and wrist watches) uses an oscillating wheel in place of a pendulum. The wheel and its spring are at the bottom. The clock`s main spring is on the upper right. The spring on the left is for the alarm, which has its own gear train and escapement. The hands go on the concentric shafts in the center. All the different gears fit together. The gears will delivering power to oscillating wheel in the foreground. There are four gears between the main spring and the escapement wheel. The fourth gear`s shaft drives the second hand. There is the escapement wheel, the anchor and the oscillating wheel and spring. There are four gears for the hour hand, minute hand and the alarm hand. There are two gears for the alarm hammer, one of which doubles as an escapement wheel.
