This episode explains the complete chain of operation in plain language: weights store energy, gears transmit it, the escapement releases it in controlled steps, and the pendulum regulates the rate. We also cover the hands, separate chime and strike trains, hammer-and-rod sound system, and why a mechanical clock can operate without electricity. Production note: Charlotte Evans is an AI-generated host using a synthetic voice.
