Symphonion Musical Pendulum Clock
By Brian Walter

I am wondering if anyone out there has, or has worked on, a Symphonion
Musical Pendulum Clock, No. 12 R?  I only have the music box works which
play a 7-11/16" disc and I wish to determine what modes of operation
were used to make both the clock and music box work.  We will never
find an original case, so we will try to find a period one on oak to
house the mechanism.  A picture and brief description of an original
appears in the Ernest Holweissig 1898 catalog.  Any type of help would
be greatly appreciated.
