  2. Pendulum clock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pendulum_clock

    It is the part that makes the "ticking" sound in a working pendulum clock. Most escapements consist of a wheel with pointed teeth called the escape wheel which is turned by the clock's wheel train, and surfaces the teeth push against, called pallets. During most of the pendulum's swing the wheel is prevented from turning because a tooth is ...

    Cuckoo clock, a so-called Jagdstück ("hunt piece"), Black Forest, c. 1900, Deutsches Uhrenmuseum, Inv. 2006-013. A cuckoo clock is a type of clock, typically pendulum driven, that strikes the hours with a sound like a common cuckoo call and has an automated cuckoo bird that moves with each note. Some move their wings and open and close their ...

  5. Escapement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escapement

    The sudden stopping of the escapement's tooth is what generates the characteristic "ticking" sound heard in operating mechanical clocks and watches. The first mechanical escapement, the verge escapement , was invented in medieval Europe during the 13th century and was the crucial innovation that led to the development of the mechanical clock.

    A well-chosen turnover point can minimize the negative effect of temperature-induced frequency drift, and hence improve the practical timekeeping accuracy of a consumer-grade crystal oscillator without adding significant cost. [10] A higher or lower temperature will result in a −0.035 ppm/°C 2 (slower) oscillation rate.
