Buckney's pendulum |
Dent 58745 is fitted with Buckney’s pendulum whose steel rod supports the massive lead weighted cylindrical brass bob. Compensation is by means of zinc and blued steel tubes concentric with the rod. Both the bob and the tubes are pierced to allow air to freely flow around them and rapidly adjust to the ambient temperature. |
