To save the verger having to clamber up a couple of flights of narrow spiral
staircase with all his cassock and full garb on (which he has to wear when on
the site), a motor's been added to wind the clock automatically. This is all
below the cogs and gears in the other photo, and the lower bronze circle in
that pic is where the winding thingy goes.
Before this, in the 30s or thereabouts when electricity was put in the
church, a tiny lift was installed and is still in the corner of this room. But it
doesn't work anymore, as with much early electrical stuff it seems.
The pendulum is the red thing in the bottom left, in mid swing. Weights are
added or removed to the black thingy to make it swing quicker or slower to
fine tune the clock.

Oct 2011 - the Foucault Pendulum at the Science Museum, London, demonstrating the rotation of the Earth around its axis
Paris, ÃŽle-de-France - France
My nerd morning shot - the Foucault Pendulum at the Panthéon.
The Panthéon is a building in the Latin Quarter in Paris, France. It was originally built as a church dedicated to St. Genevieve, but after many changes now combines liturgical functions with its role as a famous burial place.

The Foucault Pendulum tends to swing on the same plane while the Earth rotates on its axis underneath it. Thus, to an observer on the Earth, the pendulum appears to gradually change its direction of swing, and in so doing it knocks over a little wooden block about once every five minutes.
