The clock keeps remarkably good time in my home with temperature fluctuations between about 66Р’С” F (winter night) to 78Р’С” F (summer day). As can be seen the suspension spring is quite long and made of steel. The adjusting mechanism is a center rod with cross-bar held in position by a regulating nut (lower) and lock nut (upper). The pendulum is certainly unique, being two blown glass balls that are internally silvered and then filled with lead shot for mass. A direct comparison with an actual Meister movement will be posted at a later date.

There is no mark, stamp, or serial number on the movement, other than repair marks, the last one in 1942. Otherwise the movement layout and operation is identical between the two. The only significant differences from the Meister drawing are the anchor 'pin' is located at the front of the movement to accomodate a back mounting of the movement for a wall clock, and there is no rating adjustment device as shown for the Meister version. Also, there is no motion works per se, the hour hand is driven from the third wheel and the minute arbor is the usual fourth wheel at the center of the movement. Note that the movement is 'upside down' with the mainspring barrel at the top and escapement at the bottom. I am including a copy of the patent drawing for comparison to the LFS movement. 05172 for the first temperature compensating pendlum for torsion clocks. Meister shown in his 1892 Swiss patent No. Although it may be a unique LFS clock, the movement is virtually identical to movements used by J. If any viewer knows of another such clock, please contact me by PM or email. This clock may be unique as no others have yet been identified.

There are at least two makers believed to have taken up the license including LFS and Hanau Uhrenfabrik. DeGruyter evidently entered into an agreement for license of these to German makers sometime in 1883 with Hugo Knobloch of Berlin, who had been representing Harder since early 1881.
