Pulsynetic "Waiting Train" Turret or Tower Clock - How it works

See the "Waiting Train" Turret or Tower clock in operation and learn how it works. Made by Gent's Electric Clock Systems for Pulsynetic Electric.

Thank you for this video, Mr. Bloore. What I don't understand is why a waiting train is needed. If the hands on the dials are correctly set and receive an impulse at the same time, why would they ever show different times?

Outstanding! Some of the most educational videos I see are yours my friend!

Thanks Les

What a fantastic clock and brilliantly presented. I have a pair of factory master and slave electromechanical clocks and I love them, but this is on another level.

[@SelfWindingClocks]

Thank you Matt. You are very kind. Glad to hear you have electromechanical clocks. They are fascinating and challenging. Keep collecting.

Excellent as usual. Keep up the good work. Regards, Dave O'Dell

Thank you Dave

Very clearly explain thank you.
The largest electric clocks in the UK, those in the Liver Building in Liverpool are driven from four waiting train movements controlled by one Gents' master clock.
Gents' and the architects made sure that the dials were just a little bit bigger than those on 'Big Ben' in London.

Thank you Donald. I looked up the Liver building and it is magnificent. Very interesting that each dial is controlled by its own waiting train movement and the Gent's master clock controls them all. Spectacular engineering. Thank you for sharing.

Love your videos, very educational. I have many self winding clocks and love electromechanical time pieces. I have a gents master clock that I would love to get a waiting train clock to run with........ but sounds like a trip to England is needed! haha.

Hi Daniel, Thanks for watching. Does sound like a trip to England might be your best chance to find a Waiting Train Movement. Have not seen any for sale. Glad to hear you also like electro-mechanical time pieces.

Excellent presentation of a rare piece! Thank you sir! Long time collector here. Is it possible to get an email for you?

[@SelfWindingClocks]

Hi John, Love to hear from long time collectors. Alan [e-mail]

[@hsbicknell]

Very interesting, Alan. Do you have any idea how many were made?

[@SelfWindingClocks]

Unfortunately I do not have any idea how many were made.

[@Joedy860]

Very very interesting clock, I always look forward to your videos.
Is there any way to get in touch with you ?
I have sent you a question on messenger already because I have several master clocks and a lot of questions and very few people to talk with about them.
