Grandfather Clock Repair - A large clock that stands on the floor. It is usually powered by three or two weights hanging from cables or chains. The weights normally each drive a single function of time, strike and chime. A pendulum is powered by the time weight and swings back and forth controlling the time shown by the hands on the clock face. Nearly all grandfathers strike the hours, some strike the hour and half hour and many also chime one or more melodies. The melodies most common are Westminster, Whittington and Saint Michael. Most grandfathers run for eight days on a winding.
