The pendulum hall contains a permanent magnet, which is alternately repelled by oblong helices placed on either side of if at) a* proper distance. The helices connect with a zinc and carbon earth battery, and the circuit is alternately broken by a commutator attached to the pendulum rod, which is of ro ewond, baked, and saturated with parafline. The clock will run "without winding, or any other ats tentlon. afur rhe primary adjustments ate made. It is said that its regular! lv and accuracy are superior to clocks of any other construction.
