The drawing of the weight for my lantern clock (ME article by Malcolm Wild) works out to be about 11lbs. Is this about right it seems a bit on the heavy side to me

Thanks for your help

Don't know the clock but if it is anything in size like a long case, 11lb is about right. You could always make up a weight of about 9lbs and see how it goes and increase accordingly

I suspect that a quick eMail or telephone call would get you a direct answer:

Test it with bricks to find the minimum weight for reliable operation.
