Hi, I'm new to this Forum but old in electronics, starting with TTL technology 25 years ago in building digital clocks with them based upon 7447, 7490, 7400, 7408 and 7413.
a lot of breadboarding work but great results from it.
I like to know if anyone has built a synchronising CCT to synchronise two pendulum clocks at exactly the same rate.
I know that you have to attach a magnet or piece of soft iron to the pendulum, and put a coil underneath, then trigger it at the correct rate by means of a pulse from an accurate oscillator or from the other clock.
I'm pondering of ways how to approach it.
I collect electric Master and Slave clocks and have 5 German Bürk 3/4 seconds pendelclocks which are very accurate, but I like to keep them going in exact synch. with each other.
Also the Hipp Toggle principle is an option which I'm thinking off as well which is used in a FAVAG clock I have as well.
Any feedback, experience in this field would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards Raymond
