Functions
-
Calculate pendulum length
Calculate the theoretical length of a simple pendulum required to maintain timekeeping on a clock that
has a known gear train.
-
Calculate change in pendulum length
Calculate the change in a pendulum's length to correct its timekeeping error. It is used when a clock
has been running for a known length of time with a test pendulum, and it has not kept correct time.
-
Calculate wheel/pinion blank diameter
Find the blank diameter of a wheel or pinion if the module and the number of teeth is known.
-
Calculate wheel/pinion module
Find the module of a wheel or pinion if the diameter and the number of teeth is known.
-
Calculate number of teeth on wheel/pinion
Find the number of teeth on a wheel if the diameter and the module is known.
