M C Taylor Clocks

Description

A superior quality, beautiful and totally original barograph.

The 8 day duration, drum timepiece clock movement with its original and top-mounted, Cylinder, platform escapement. Contained in a revolving 3 3/4" diameter brass chart drum. This is mounted upon the top base tier as is the barometric cradle with an 8-tiered stack.

The superior nib on the end of the floating arm is refilled when the chart is changed weekly from its side-mounted glass ink bottle and dipper.

The timepiece movement is wound weekly by removing the top cover to expose the fixed winding key and the platform escapement with protective horns that can be adjusted for regulating the timekeeping.

There is also a chart-change holding bar to lift the nib away from the drum when necessary and for transit.

The light oak, heavily constructed case has a 5-glass cover that simply fits over the top tier of the moulded base and is lifted off to operate the device. All of the glass panels are thick and bevelled and the base contains a double-depth, chart drawer.

Barographs are not only attractive but also provide a good deal of fun when operated. They also provide a lasting record of local weather conditions.
