Voorbeelden van het gebruik van CLOCK'S in een zin

• The period of the pendulum's swing depends on its length, so a pendulum clock's rate varied with changes in ambient temperature, causing inaccurate timekeeping.
• The clock's movement activates the bellows to send a puff of air into each pipe alternately when the timekeeper strikes.
• The clock's jitter error is half if the clock interrupts for each zero crossing, instead of each cycle.
• An escapement is a mechanical linkage in mechanical watches and clocks that gives impulses to the timekeeping element and periodically releases the gear train to move forward, advancing the clock's hands.
• To wind a chain-driven longcase clock, one pulls on the end of each chain, lifting the weights until they are just under the clock's face.
• The force of the mainspring then turns the clock's wheels as it unwinds, until the next winding is needed.
• For the first two hundred years or so of the mechanical clock's existence, the verge, with foliot or balance wheel, was the only escapement used in mechanical clocks.
• Unlike a weight on a cord, which exerts a constant force to turn the clock's wheels, the force a spring exerts diminishes as the spring unwinds.
• Distinctively for Willard's workshop, above the clock's top fretwork, three pedestals were, on which two spherical finials and a large bird figure were mounted.
• The wheel and torsion spring function similarly to a watch's balance wheel and hairspring, as a harmonic oscillator to control the rate of the clock's hands.
• This mechanism was more accurate than a mainspring, because the frequent winding averaged out variations in the clock's rate caused by the varying force of the spring as it unwound.
• Damage to the clock's mechanism was sustained during a fire, on 9 July 1984; after 10 years' work attempting repair, vergers ceased winding it, owing to its inaccuracies of time-keeping.
• Although the hands of the clock's four faces were soon operating again after the repairs made by Westminster's chief engineer, Geoffrey Buggin, a winding drum fell off, breaking the 110-year-old chiming mechanism.
• In addition to increased accuracy, the anchor's narrow pendulum swing allowed the clock's case to accommodate longer, slower pendulums, which needed less power and caused less wear on the movement.
• In a contemporary review for The Dark Side of the Moon, Loyd Grossman of Rolling Stone described "On the Run" as a "standout with footsteps racing from side to side successfully eluding any number of odd malevolent rumbles and explosions only to be killed off by the clock's ticking that leads into "Time.
