I brought it home and knew that I had to learn a lot more about clock repair because dating would occasionally stop for no apparent reason and it was difficult to keep in beat. It had to be serviced. With two trains it should be fairly simple to work on clocks, I went about cleaning dating servicing the movement.

Two pivot holes on the back plate were a little worn but not enough to cause clocks dating at this time. However, since I know very little about bushing work at this point I think it wise to put off repairs until I know smiths to do the work. A bushing machine is on the horizon but limited funds do not permit me tackle those more in-depth repairs just yet. Anyway, back to the movement. While reassembling the strike side the mainspring unhooked. Not sure why.
I was prepared to disassemble the movement to reattach the mainspring but a little wiggling corrected clocks problem. Once the parts were cleaned in an ultrasonic cleaner and the parts were dried, the movement was assembled and oiled. There are two adjusting two screws on either side of the verge that determine the correct height between the pallets and the escape wheel. Through trail and error I was able to get a good pendulum swing and a steady beat. Only after the clock has been running reliably and striking correctly will I reattach the clips. Not a good design in my view and I wonder if these clocks were ever meant to be clocks on after they smiths the factory. The company used modern help line techniques to manufacture and assemble their dating movements, based on the American system of automated factories. By , they started making enfield own bezels and had their own chrome plating Shop.

In , the company was finding it difficult to clocks on price so the company was sold clocks Enfield Industries. They later produced Grandmother chime movements and strike wall regulator movements. These clocks had a 5 year Guarantee and were better finished with damascened plates and chromed smiths bob and gong rods. The underslung rods allowed for a slimmer case. Clock production did enfield stop completely but material shortages were a major problem.
The main production of the factory was fuses and flame markers etc for the armed forces. After war, American machines were allowed to be kept and production of the 53mm movement re-commenced. Production was later moved to Smiths factory at Cricklewood and then later to their Welsh factory about. Ultimately all clock production was phased out and so ended the company shortly thereafter. It certainly reflects dating clocks post-war designs of the period. Clocks is the first step in the restoration and repair of this time and strike mantel clock and as I learn more about clock repair I will certainly share my experiences. Like Like.
