Grandfather Clocks

When the mechanisms of timekeeping were in development, English clockmakers were able to enhance accuracy by devising a method whereby the pendulum was elongated to slow the swing. A furniture maker to whom the clockmaker would pass the mechanism for installation generally built the elaborate long case that accompanies a grandfather clock also known as a longcase clock.
