going train

The great wheel of the going train is also believed to be original.

It is usually driven by a separate but identical power source to the going train.

He himself had had enough space going training to adapt to any schedule.

The going train in a modern clock or watch consists of:

The striking train sits on top of the clock, the going train is below.

The going train is the main gear train of the timepiece.

It does not increase accuracy, since the only wheels which have an effect on the balance wheel, those in the going train, are already jeweled.

The going train is wound with a capstan with 4 spokes.

Each with its own energy source and going train, one mechanism supplies a regular flow of force to the balance while the other controls functions.

The clock runs on two weights - one connects to the striking train and the other to the going train.

The going train has two functions.

Bearings in the clock's going train and the "great bell" striker were replaced, for the first time since installation.

The going train has a stone weight, and the striking train an iron weight.

The case is divided into two stories, the going train being in the upper, and the striking train in the lower story.

The middle tine of the fork is used to transmit the release from the main arbor of the going train.

The left half of the clock (as in the photograph above), is the striking train; the right half is the going train.

The wheels in a typical going train are the centre wheel, third wheel, and fourth wheel.

Jewelling 2 The entire movement must jeweled with ruby jewels set in polished holes, including the going train and escape wheel.

Wheels 6 The wheels of the going train must be chamfered above and below and have a polished sink.

The striking train weight roughly weighs 40 kg, the going train stone weight is slightly heavier.

As more jeweled bearings were added, they were applied to slower moving wheels, and jewelling progressed up the going train toward the barrel.

The first bridge movements, in Swiss pocketwatches from around 1900, had three parallel bar bridges to support the three wheels of the going train.

This confirmed that the two arbors of the going train had been lengthened when the clock had been converted to pendulum operation.

Seen from the going train side, the great wheel with the winding barrel turns anti-clockwise, and the escapement wheel turns clockwise.

It is attached to the going train by the friction coupling of the cannon pinion, so the minute and hour hands can be turned independently to set the timepiece.
