Wow. This is a gem of a post! Thanks!!!
I have never really tried to figure out the Equation of Time. This is the first reference that makes me curious. I'll see if some of the more scientifically oriented folks are interested.
As to the clock... an interesting piece of work. Much like wristwatches, the market seems to value the casing. Here is is in excellent shape - complete as far as I can see. But the mechanism is a thing of beauty and a joy forever, even if it lacks twirly things like wristwatches. :-d
How did you date it? Aside from cleaning and oiling, were there any challenges in getting it working again?
Many thanks for posting!
