This is a large wall clock like the ones in school. When I first plug in the clock the minute hand and the second hand turn together untill it hits six oclock. Then it resets and assumes regular movement. It has a lever in back to make it do this. It has a sycronous 110 volt motor in it, but I am having problems getting this thing set up. Any help out there?

I have a Schoolhouse Regulator Wall Clock. I have followed the directions to get it to chime right but it just keeps going and going. It will stop once in awhile for maybe a minute and then it starts again. I have let it go and go but how long do I need to?? Its starting to get annoying!

A man goes to stay in a cabin in the woods every summer. He has no radio, tv, phone or a watch, but there is a big wind-up clock in the cabin. He was asked one day how he could set the clock when he first arrived, since he didn’t know what time it was when he arrived. He said, “I just wait until I make my first trip into town on my bicycle and figure it out from that.” I objected that he wouldn’t know how long it takes to make the trip since he doesn’t have a watch. “That’s right,” he said “but that’s not a problem. And I don’t have to carry the clock into town with me either.” How did he figure out how to set the clock to the right time?

Norsemen asked:


I need to be at work at 7:00 AM PST, and I know at some point here the daylight savings time thing happens.

I want to set my clock now to the new time and I don’t know what it is!

Should I make it one hour further into the future or back into the past?

antique clock
Kathy S asked:


Clock was given to me. It is my first antique clock. It has two holes on the front for winding. I think it has to be wound every seven days. A short time after receiving the clock it stopped. I took it to a repair shop and they said the mechanics just needed cleaning. They cleaned it and it worked fine, even the chimes. Then we went on vacation for two weeks and when we returned I set the clock and winded. It did not even run for an entire day. Maybe I need instuctions on setting properly. Please help!
