The Swing Of The Pendulum Of Your Grandfather Clock
How well do you know your grandfather clock? Knowing how your tall clock works will make
it easier for you. It's like having your husband around all the time.
How well do you know your grandfather clock?
Everyday you glance admiringly at your new 7-foot tall clock. It has brightened up your living
room, making the room homier. It was the perfect touch. You never had this so good when
doing your own interior decorating.
But do you know everything about your clock? If you can point out the pendulum bob and
the cable pulleys, then you know something. If you can't tell the difference, it's time to skim
through the manual of your grandfather clock.
The swing of the pendulum
If you think your time counter is just an accessory to be admired, you're dead wrong. This
type of clock tells the time accurately and keeps time within a minute per month. The gears
inside the clock are controlled by the swinging pendulum year in and year out ' and of
course will wear and tear without proper care.
The pendulum (made from brass and steel) of your clock is suspended from secure cables,
and moves back and forth ' influenced by gravity. This regulates the clock and alerts the
system to release the power of the right rate. The longer or shorter the pendulum is, the
slower or faster the swing.
The swinging pendulum is counting time. This is complemented by mechanical systems of
gears, levers, spring, and catches. The movement of the mechanical levers, wheels and
gears are controlled to calculate the accurate tick of the second, minute, and hour hands.
You can adjust the swing of the pendulum slower or faster by just adjusting the ball of the
pendulum slightly.
Chimes
At the hour, the spring driven hammers will strike the tubular bells. Some grandfather clocks
will allow for the selection of melodies. If your clock has three melodies, you can change the
melody when the minute hand is set in the safe time area.
When the chimes stop, you can move the minute hand counterclockwise. If there is some
resistance, better call the supplier to do the job for you. Never attempt to touch the chime
lever when the clock is chiming or you will damage the chime system. You can follow the
illustrated manual that came with your grandfather clock.

2. Weights
Observe that there are three weights in the case of your grandfather clock. The left powers
the hour strike, the center is for time, and the right weight is for the melody.
These weights, attached to a chain or a cable, should be raised every 7 days or the clock
will stop. For cable driven weights, a crank will be available. For chain driven weights, the
loose end of the chain is pulled down.
There are more things to learn to appreciate how the system inside works. In time, you'll be
comfortable with your clock. In the meantime, don't mess with your grandfather clock, just
let the pendulum swing.

The Tablet PC Is The Next Big Thing In Personal Technology
Have you heard about the tablet PC?
You might as well get used to the term because if high tech experts are right, it's about to
take the computing world by storm.
Of all the personal technology advances we've seen over the past five years, the Tablet PC
has to rank among the most significant. For the Tablet PC is truly one of the most innovative
and useful products that is just now starting to gain major traction. These machines, which
are powered by a specially tweaked version of the Windows XP operating system, allow
users to scribble notes on a screen with a pen-like stylus, turning handwriting or block
printing into what's called digital ink.
Although Tablet PCs have been on the market for a few years now, much of the public has
been unexposed to them. That's about to change. Tablet PCs are now showing up on TV
commercials, in magazine and newspaper ads and being exuberantly talked about through
word of mouth. Maybe it's time for you to consider one.
Some Tablets are slate models only. That means there is no keyboard, just the screen. You

3. write on them like those old Etch-a-Sketches that kids used to play with. Others, are called
convertibles. Flip the screen up and it looks and works like a notebook computer, with a
keyboard, CD/DVD slot, track pad and the like. But swivel the screen around and down over
the keyboard and it's a slate.
All of the big computer makers produce Tablet PC models: Dell, Gateway, Toshiba, Lenovo
(IBM), Fujitsu and others. There are a couple of Tablet-only makers, too, like Motion
Computing and Rugged Computers. Even Apple Computer with its fabled Macintosh line is
rumored to be close to developing a Tablet version.
The cost of a Tablet depends on how yoy equip it. I suggest at least 1GB of memory/ And if
a CD/DVD drive isnt included, either as a built-in internal option or as an external device,
make sure you order one. Wi-Fi and BlueTooth is standard on most Tablets.
But you can figure spending around $2,000 for a full-featured model.
Over the past couple of years, Tablets have sold fairly well in what are known as vertical
markets, among niche interest groups like students (great for note-taking and recording
lectures), medical professionals (for keeping track of patient records) and salespeople (for
forms and order-taking). Indeed, some schools are now giving Tablet PCs to their students,
that's how great they are as educational tools.
But now that the momentum has built up, most observers are convinced the real market is
much larger ... and largely untapped, if you'll excuse the pun.
The Tablet PC does everything a regular computer does. It has a complete Windows XP
operating system and can run all of the normal programs and applications consumers are
used to on their desktops and laptops. The big difference is that with a Tablet PC, you can
also use that electronic stylus to run many programs, taking notes by hand or tapping on the
individual letters of an on-screen keyboard representation to type.
Handwriting can be converted to type with just a tap of the stylus, though, obviously, the
neater you write or print, the more accurate will be the conversion into type.
I've been a a tablet user for several years and, truthfully, I seldom convert handwritten notes
on the Tablet. I don't need to. I can read my own notes just fine. And there's something
satisfyingly personal about seeing my scribbes on a computer screen. It's sort of the
ultimate in customization.
While a Tablet does everything a regular computer does, they have the added advantage of
some special tablet-only software enhancements. I bought a $39 add-on to the Outlook
program that lets me use digital ink to enter calendar, to-do, journal and contact info. And a
$99 program called PlanPlus from Franklin Covey puts the equivalent of a Franklin Planner
on my Tablet. I've fallen in love with this application.
Then there's Microsoft OneNote, which comes bundled on many of the Tablets sold today or
can be purchased separately for $99. OneNote I believe, is the most amazingly useful
application for any platform I have ever tried.

4. Besides the digital ink note-taking and organizational features, OneNote uses the built in
microphone on the Tablet to record meetings, lectures, interviews, whatever you want. As
you take notes of a presentation and hear something that's important, make a star or
exclamation mark next to someone's words that you've jotted down, just as you do with pen
and paper notes. Afterwards, as you review the notes, you can tap on the special mark you
made to hear the actual recording of the subject as the presenter spoke the information.
No matter how much I use OneNote, it blows me away every time.
If you're thinking about a new laptop and if note-taking is a part of your life, a tablet should
be at the top of your shopping list.
It's that handy.
Is a Tablet PC right for you?
Obviously, only you can answer that. But it's been my esperience as a longtime road warrior
who has used all sorts of laptops, that the Tablet PC offers so many more features and so
much more convenience than a standard laptop that I would never go back.
I bet you will feel the same.
