Killrudderys water clock

Hi I am trying to find a detailed description of this clock .It is built into a tower at the Killruddery estate in Ireland .I know there was an article about it in a 1980s Horological journal but can find no trace of it, can anyone help me locate it .Thanks Mike

Mike,

I do remeber seeing the HJ article, but sorry, I don't think I have it to hand.

You might find this useful though.

**LINK** this might be of use to you.

Mike,

The Espacenet server is down at the moment, so you may have to wait until after the Holiday before you can download it but; I have found his Patent.

Michael, thanks for that, just what I need for a project I'm thinking about! Also similar to a clock in the Liverpool museum I think that Philip Woodward describes in My Own Right time that is driven by a continuously rotating disc powered by a falling weight regulated by a conical pendulum governer.

John,

The device in Liverpool Museum is amazing, and very beautiful.

Sadly; due to funding cuts, it is no longer running, and is very poorly lit

It was built by Bond, in the USA and was 'improved' whilst at the Liverpool Observatory.

... I don't want to hi-jack Mike's thread, so I will send you some links by 'Personal Message'.

Thanks to everyone for their help .Book ordered from J Formby ,and I will be very interested to see the patent link when the server is up and running again.Thanks Mike
