Sold by: Chalfont Clocks

An early electric clock made by Brillie, with a 9 inch white dial with Arabic numerals, a subsidiary seconds dial and a timeswitch function to bottom of the dial, within a turned brass bezel, the movement with shaped plates, half second Invar pendulum with horseshoe-shaped magnet bob below a brass sphere, the mechanism is mounted on marble plate; under a removable glazed oak case.
 
As the pendulum swings, it engages a ratchet wheel which operates contacts that periodically impulse the large solenoid at the base of the clock. This attracts the U-shaped permanent magnet attached to the pendulum and so provides the driving force. The large brass sphere acts as the pendulum bob, and can be moved up or down in order to regulate the clock. There is an additional regulator for fine adjustments.
