Notes: Masterclock with one weight driving 2 gear trains, one for the timekeeping, the
other for the electrical impulse mechanism. This clock has a chain instead of a
chord, the electrical winding mechanism is missing ( if anyone has any information about
this particular winding mechanism, please let me know). Even though the clock had
electrical winding, it has 2 winding squares behind the face, but no holes in the face.
It has a 3/4 sec pendulum, that looks like the compensation pendulums made by
Strasser & Rohde.
