Eli Terry Works?????
I just acquired this wooden works movement. It feels like a Terry, smells like a Terry, but doesn't look like a Terry. The count wheel and bushing support for the escape wheel are not in the "Terry" tradition. Any ideas? I know the Terry's changed patents etc., perhaps this was one.

Thanks

Ken

Thanks for the information Eddie. One of the time train gears has a broken arbor and as a result, I am mising the upper gear. Do you know how I may go about figuring out what it may look like? I may be able to make one as I have done some wood working if I could find a pattern.

We are still on Holliday and will be returning to Arkansas tomorrow. Thankfully, there is some clock work wating for me when we get back.

GREETINGS KEN, DOES THE MISSING WHEEL ALSO CARRY A PINION? WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO IS A WHEEL AND PINION COUNT ON THE TIME SIDE, THE MOTION WORK IS NOT INCLUDED THEN YOU HAVE TO FIND THE FORMULA THAT WILL SUIT YOUR CLOCK TRAIN. STEVEN CONNOVER'S BASICS BOOK HAS 2 FORMULA'S,ALSO DONALD DE CARLES BOOK ALSO HAS SEVERAL FORMULA'S IN IT, THERE IS A WEBSITE CONNECTED TO THE B.H.I. MAIN WEBSITE THAT ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS FILL IN THE BLANKS. TAKE CARE. EDDIE, P.S. IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM FINDING THE RIGHT FORMULA CALL ME AND I WILL DISCUSS IT WITH YOU.

I knew you were going to say that :-) I was hoping you would look at the picture, see which wheel was mission (no pivot) and say, wow, I have a few of them laying around the shop.

Off to counting and calculating.
