Movement of early eighteenth-century long-case clock
Manufacturer	T. Dicker
Production years	18th century
Production location	Silchester, England

This movement made by T. Dicker, Silchester, illustrates the last stage in transition from the ‘lantern’ type of clock.

[edit] How it works

The movement bears a considerable general resemblance to that of the adjacent lantern clock. It is, of course, driven by a suspended weight and is controlled by means of a long seconds pendulum through the medium of an anchor escapement. It is fitted with a locking-plate striking mechanism and possesses only a single hand, moving over a scale of hours divided into quarters.
