	Grandfather clock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Most of a grandfather clock's height is used to hold the long pendulum and weights.
		A grandfather clock, also floor clock or longcase clock, is a freestanding clock with a pendulum held inside its own tower, commonly around 6-8 ft tall.
		When the other brother died at the age of 90, the clock stopped running altogether, and was never repaired in remembrance of the brothers.

	Grandfather Clock - LEGO
		Getting any clock to run is tricky business, I imagine, but with LEGO it seems especially hard to work within the various parameters of necessary weight, gear ratios, and inherent strength of the plastic bricks.
		The weights are what drive the clock (there are no batteries, no springs, no motors), and whenever the weights reach the ground, they must be reset by disengaging the gears and winding up the pulley system.
		The front of the clock is open space right now, and I may eventually use (non-LEGO) plexiglass; the front door uses LEGO hinges and can be swung open to allow access even with the proposed plexiglass front..

	Klockit - History of Grandfather Clocks
		Clock making has over 5000 years of history behind it and up until the advent of mechanical clocks in medieval Europe, the noteworthy links in the chain of timepieces were the shadow clocks, also called sundials, water powered devices named clepsydra, the hourglass and indexed candles.
		However, the grandfather clocks as these pendulum clocks are known today, would be referred to as long case clocks or floor clocks until the 1880s.
		Shortly after that, the long case or floor clocks, which were referred to by a variety of other names as well, came to be known as the grandfather clocks.

		Grandfather clocks have a long history among Swiss clockmakers, but they were outlawed following the notorious Hans Schlickmann Clock Incident of 1949.
		He is said to have remarked, "By the creation of this 'grandfather clock', I ensure that you, my children, will never forget the precious time we spent together." Blix was reportedly hollowed out, and his innards replaced with the gears and springs necessary to ensure famous Swiss window licking.
		Attempts by the Swiss to manufacture new grandfather clocks built using ceramic figures to stand in for the embalmed bodies of dead grandfathers have met with little success.

		Some said it was no surprise that, though fully wound, the old clock stopped when the surviving brother died at the age of ninety.
		He was told the story of the old clock and after seeing the clock for himself, decided to compose a song about the fascinating coincidence that the clock stopped forever the moment its elder owner passed away.
		Until that time, clocks such as the one in the old George Hotel were referred to by a variety of names, but not before Henry Work wrote his song, over a hundred years ago, were they referred to as grandfather clocks.

		The lantern clock was made in more or less standardized form until about 1660, when there was a change in clock making in England that had repercussions throughout Europe.

	History - The Grandfather Clock Story
		From then on the clocks were variously called longcase clocks, floor clocks, and even coffin clocks because they resembled the shape and size of the simple wooden coffins of that time.
		Clocksmiths were called in, but they couldn’t figure out how to fix the clock, so it just kept losing time until the day the surviving brother died at the age of ninety—that’s when the clock suddenly stopped.
		The song was an immediate hit and from that time on, the longcase clock has been known as the grandfather clock.

		Folklore has it that, until this song was published, floor clocks were just "floor clocks" or "tall clocks." Since then, they have been known as "Grandfather clocks." This strikes me as more reasonable than many folk derivations, but I cannot verify this from any of my linguistic sources.

		It is interesting that the clock balance wheel, or more properly balanced wheel, came about just two years, (1758), after the invention of the pendulum clock, when Robert Hooke invented the balance spring.
