Not illustrated. 1917 Excerpt: ... hammer tail should be quite free and not touching the next pin in the pin wheel. This is imperative. It can be made so by shifting the pin wheel a tooth or so one way or the other. At the same time, the warning pin must be at least half a revolution from the stop on the arm D to allow for the "run." Shift it till it is so. Should the clock occasionally strike one too many at several of the hours, the locking plate is probably put on the wrong way of the square it fits on to, and it had better be tried on another way. There is usually a dot on it and the square. In putting a striking clock together, observe that dots go next to each other. A dot on a wheel is meant to be placed adjoining the next pinion, and if this rule is observed in putting the striking train together, not much trouble will be experienced in getting it right. Put a little oil on the pins in pin wheel, on the warning pin, and on the locking pin in F. Oil the pivots of the hammer arbor, and arbor of I. Do not oil the edge of the locking plate, or the pivot of the arm C. Put a little on the pins B. Should the clock not strike exactly at the hour and half hour, bend the pins B, B a trifle in or out as required. French Rack Striking Work.--French clocks fitted with rack striking will now be considered. Fig. 66 shows the mechanism, which will be seen to be all on the front plate and underneath the dial. The train is practically the same as before. The pin wheel H, the locking wheel F, and the warning wheel E, and fly are the same in both. In a rackstriking clock the locking wheel F is called the "pallet wheel," because its front pivot is prolonged and carries a small "pallet " whose duty it is to "gather" up the rack. In Fig. 66, the gathering pallet is ...
