If 1656 was the date of the invention of hte first pendulum clock, then they have not been around "since ancient times". Nik42 04:02, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Any one willing to put something in about clock work? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.129.45.215 ( talk) 11:45, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
I've submitted the possible problem, then I did this: Googling these two strings with quotes, first from the about.com site "This allows the master pendulum" and this slightly different string from the article: "This allowed the master pendulum" both give many copies of the disputed text. It's hard to know which one would legitimately hold the copyright, or if it's public domain and now on sites that surely claim copyright to all their material such as about.com. Now I don't know if I did the right thing.
Is there a source for the Fedchenko clock? The Shortt clock is well documented but I haven't succeeded in finding details about Fedchenko's clock. The one article I found (about a hobbyist's copy of the design) didn't sound like anything that could come close to challenging the Shortt clock. Paul Koning 16:44, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Hope this isn't nitpicking, but I think the more widely-used term for this type of pendulum is 'torsion pendulum', although 'torsion-spring pendulum' is more specific and distinguishes it better from the ordinary type of pendulum. I googled both terms and there are a lot more webpages that refer to 'torsion pendulum' clocks. Also, there is a Torsion pendulum clock article that should be linked to this section. What about changing the name of this well-written section to Torsion pendulum? -- Chetvorno 21:18, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
Is there a good reason to use the fuzzy term "pushes" instead of the precise term "impulses"? Paul Koning ( talk) 12:00, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
hey i had to answer this question on my homework about this clock and this has got to be the most orignal name ever i mean penuloum i spelt that wrong i no but i think u get my point and i rly want a clock like this one for my house when i get older! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.56.210.205 ( talk) 01:06, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
I just removed a section entitled "pendulum parts" which was located below "escapement". It was a less-informative rehash of the mechanism section, which had apparently been taken directly from another website. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.246.103.93 ( talk) 18:22, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
"at an amplitude of 23° it loses 1% or about 1 minute 25 sec. per day, compared to its rate for small swings" Roly ( talk) 16:25, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
No reply to this so I assume 1% should be 0.1%. I have changed this. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Roly ( talk) 15:20, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
From its invention 1577 by Bryan Piczon which uses gravity as the second hand rises up the pendulum swing slower and when the second hand is going down the pendulum swing faster, note the clock only works with only one hand, the seconds hand, and in 1656 complete with hour and minute hand by Christiaan Huygens until the 1930s, the pendulum clock was the world's most precise timekeeper, accounting for its widespread use.
