Schatz Ship's Bell Clock Striking

Shows the movement of the Schatz ship's bell clock as it strikes the hour and half-hour. Shows that the odd number of strikes on the half-hour is performed by not letting the second hammer fall the full distance toward the bell.

I have one similar to that, except mine has a single hammer that strikes the bell twice on each count. The half-hour strike works similarly.

The German Schatz company really knew what they were doing, way back when.

Fascinating clock, excellent video, thanks for sharing. Some very inspired mechanical computing skills went into that design!
