Help with a clock

[kiwi2]

Hi,
Has anyone here made the weight driven 8 day wall clock described in the John Wilding book?
I started making one and came to an awkward bit and so I set it aside for a bit to think about it. That was 10 - 15years ago. I've spent the last week or so trying to remember what the problem was and to help with this I've been trying to draw a GA of the train. My main problem seems to be that I can't figure out how all the parts fit together! The photos in the book are pretty useless as the escape wheel is hidden and while I'm sure John Wilding is great at making clocks, he's not so good at explaining how to do it.
So, if anyone has made this clock, I'd be really keen to see some photos showing the guts of it.
Regards,
Alan C.

Hi Don,

Thanks for the offer. I've joined the Model-Engineer website which has a good clock section. One of their members has posted some pictures of his build which have helped me figure out what goes where.
