Each clock consists of a Lower Unit, an Upper
Unit, and the Hood. For shipping purposes, the largest piece is
the Lower Unit at 63" x 24" x 14". Complete assembly
and set-up instructions are included with each clock.
The movement (clockworks) used is American-made
by David Lindow & Co. It is an eight-day, cable wound, weight
driven mechanism of superb quality. This is an historically correct
reproduction of an American style bell strike movement that will
count the hours, sounding only at the top of the hour. There are
no musical chimes, or strike shut-off. The clock is to be wound
once each week with the winding key provided.
The clock was designed, and the case work fabricated
by Howard R. Lehning, a Roycroft Master Artisan and owner of HR
Lehning Fine Furniture & Timepieces. The metalwork is by Ronald
VanOstrand, a Roycroft Master Artisan and owner of the VanOstrand
Metal Studio. The hand carving is by Thomas Bojanowski, a Roycroft
Master Artisan. The glasswork is by Peggy Eisensmith, owner of Aurora
Art Glass.
The hardwood cases are fabricated one at a time,
and finished with an oil stain and lacquer. The surface is hand
rubbed, and protected with a top coat of hard paste wax.
The dial, weight shells, pendulum bob, hinge
overlays and escutcheons are hand wrought copper with a pleasing
patina, protected with a top coat of clear lacquer. The working
hinge barrels, clock hands, and locks are brass. The door locks
are keyed alike.
A note on Installation: Any tall case clock is
inherently top-heavy, and therefore should not be installed on a
carpeted surface, but on a solid, hard floor. This also prevents
the introduction of any unwanted motions that might affect the timekeeping
ability of the clock.
