Aylward & RisbridgerA clockmaking dynasty in the South of England, by
Brian Loomes: there are none for ages then two turn up at once.
A clock for Highland Mary Ian Beilby unearths a clock by an undiscovered Scottish maker.
Keeping things shipshape 
Or how to pack a clock to minimise damage in transit, by Dennis Radage.
Sounding off You can identify a clock simply by the the sounds it makes. At least, that's what
Brian Barkworth says.
The feet on longcase clocks are frequently found to be damaged or missing.
Making replacement bracket feet can be a difficult task, especially for the amateur restorer.
Old & New Times now produce sets of ogee feet in both oak and mahogany/redwood.
The feet are very well made and finished to a high standard. The feet when attached to the case only require staining and polishing to match the existing casework.
