<p>[QUOTE="hamptonauction, post: 1181458, member: 62"]It's called a clepsydra aka water clock, made by George Dorne's circa 1975. I'm in the process of calibrating it, it gains about 1/2 hour every 3 hours. Calibration is done by adding or removing lead weight in the brass cylinder on the rear. I this case it's fast so I'll have to remove weight. It's a 12-hour clock.</p><p>I'm curious to find out how many were made. </p><p>[USER=25]@afantiques[/USER]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]213307[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]213308[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]213309[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
