This movement came from a Waterbury Tambour. It is sort of the same but different. The chime movement is piggybacked on the rear of an otherwise normal looking time/strike movement. The chime train is triggered by the center shaft in the time train. When the clock has chimed the fourth quarter, the strike train is triggered by the chime train. It seemed a little weird to see a clock with Westminster chimes have a count wheel strike system. The time and strike trains have open springs and the chime train has a barrel spring. In the front view of the movement, the center winding arbor is for the chime train. The square ended arbor drives another wheel, which drives a wheel on the spring barrel. Excessive wear can be seen on the primary winding arbor hole and on the second pivot in that train. I just thought I would share this unusual movement with the rest of you. | |||

Interesting movement. The split front/back design is not the usual, but does show up in a few. Usually they are not the most fun to work on. That one is neat. Thanks for posting it. Tom | ||||
