Notes: the subsidiary dial gives strong evidence that originally the clock had a 1 ¼ seconds
pendulum (roughly 59 inches long). Later alterations were made to the movement, namely to
allow for a shorter pendulum of 0.94 seconds of semi-period (roughly 37 inches long), and so
the small hand does not indicate seconds nor does it correspond to the numbering on the
original seconds ring.
