I had heard the term Mike, but never had registered what it meant.
Interesting.
I have inherited two old (19th century) clocks, but after many years they became unreliable and I stopped winding them up.
The trouble is that there are no competant clock repairers in the area that I know of. A lost art? I just heard horror stories of "bodging" & overcharging. In the end I found a chap on the far side of the country (Leicester) who advertised old clocks on eBay and seemed to have a good reputation.
However, four months down the line, one is still not ready!
