Brass Comma-Foot Rack Spring – 5” for English & American Tall Case Clocks – CLOSEOUT

This Tall Case Rack Spring is a brass comma-foot rack spring, designed for English and American tall case clock movements. Measuring 5 inches (127 mm) in length, this spring is a vital component for maintaining the functionality of the rack striking system, which controls the hour chime mechanism in traditional tall case clocks. This is a new old inventory item, and we only have one available. Once it’s sold, it cannot be restocked.

Features:
• Material: Solid brass with a comma-foot design for durability and precise function.
• Length: 5 inches (127 mm).
• Usage: Specifically for rack striking systems in tall case clock movements.

Applications:
This rack spring is compatible with English and American tall case clocks (commonly referred to as grandfather clocks) that utilize a rack striking mechanism. The spring ensures smooth operation of the rack system, allowing the clock to chime accurately on the hour.

Importance in Tall Case Clocks:
The rack spring is an integral part of the striking mechanism, responsible for controlling the descent of the rack and the corresponding chime sequence. Without a properly functioning rack spring, the clock’s chime mechanism may fail or become inaccurate.
