East Bergholt, Suffolk (2)
St Mary, East Bergholt - the earlier movement, 18C
The interesting feature of this anonymous single-wheel striking
system with worm-driven vertical fly. The pins on the front of the wheel act as the countwheel, while those on the rear operate the hammer (Figure 6). At the same time the teeth on the rim
drive the worm to provide a large reduction ratio, allowing the
main wheel to move slowly enough.
