Any help out there. Need to find uot how to regulate speed, presently runs slow.
I'd say E.N. Welch circa 1885-1900 It's what's called a kitchen clock. To make it run a bit faster there should be a little nut at the base of the pendulum. Turn the nut clockwise to raise the pendulum and make it run faster... Counter clockwise to lower it and make it run slower. Here's a link for some further info:
