I'm trying to find out how many issues of Model Engineer contained the article on contructing a striking Lantern clock. I know the fist issue was 5th September 1975. Can anyone help?
Thanks, Dave.

SWMBO wants me to make a lantern clock, I've found the JMW version which looks just the thing, but no idea of overall size. I checked out the link above but it doesn't seem to work. Anyone made one? This would be my fist foray into making a complete clock, I've made slave clocks before and modified te motion work on my pigeon clock. Is this a suitable starting point?

The old 'LanternClocks' website can be found on the WayBack Machine.

The drawing just seems to be the image above. Be patient if browsing it can take a while to load!

Well if that's the JMW one it's too small, and I can't just scale it up as the fretwork is a casting. Back to the drawing board as they say

It appears to be his own re-creation, Duncan

Probably very close to the same size as JMW’s though
