Notes: Unusual chime train design. If pillars are dismantled, mark them because they aren’t interchangeable and must be remounted with regard to front-back direction For people not frequently dealing with WM carefully look at the chime levers and snails: they work in a particular manner and understanding it BEFORE dismantling will avoid loosing time. In this case a sketch will be very useful even to the skilled clockmaker.
