Question:

In the clock mechanism, a pendulum on shaft A drives an anchor (Fig. 1.12c). The pendulum period is such that 1 tooth of the 30T escapement wheel on shaft B is released every 2 s, causing shaft B to rotate once every minute. Note that the second

(to the right) 64T gear is pivoted loosely on shaft D and is connected by a tubular shaft to the hour hand.

(a) Show that the train values are such that the minute hand rotates once every hour and that the hour hand rotates once every 12 hours.

(b) How many turns does the drum on shaft F make every day?
