The single winding arbor has 2 power take offs, and a regular silk thread pendulum at the rear that ticks reliably and advances the hands very slowly, an then a contrate wheel with a vertical shaft for the flying pendulum allows for the remainder of the hand movement. Case and movement are in excellent original condition; the umbrella has been restored. The flying pendulum starts and stops and needs a little fine tuning. Ht 12"
