Richard Fawdry, Lionel Ansselin, Lindsay Bramall, Joy Percival,
Carla Bosch, Trevor Cunningham (who received his 20 year badge

 |
The meeting covered the difference
between timepieces, striking and chiming clocks, concentrating
on grand sonnerie of which these are examples |
 |
A French clock with an unusual
Garnier escapement was talked about at show and tell |
 |
Jean Paul Garnier (1801-69), pupil
of Antide Janvier, commenced business in 1825 in Paris.
|
 |
In 1830 he took out a patent for
a frictional rest escapement available to clocks and watches.
This is an example |
 |
Carl Sona wrote an article on
a Zenith movement with a paddle wheel escapement. This is the
clock. You never know what you will find inside one of these |
 |
Lindsay Bramall has a Chapter
168 display at our meetings and this topic was 400 day clocks
with window apertures to view the pendulums. |
 |
The end of year celebration for
the committee was held at Past President Howard Bate and Wendy
Bates house. Michael Smith makes a presentation |
 |
They have a beautiful garden and
this looks like a garden ornament |
