This causes some of the alcohol to vaporize, the pressure pushing the liquid up the connecting pipe to the vessel at top right. As the latter gets heavier the wheel bearing the four vessels experiences a torque that rewinds a remontoire spring driving a conventional gear train and escapement. This clock has a pendulum-controlled escapement, but models with balance wheel escapements also existed."</span></span></p></h5><h5 style="font-weight: normal;font-family:verdana;"><p> <span style=";font-size:130%;color:BROWN;" ><span style="color:BLACK;">The firm of Jauch and Schmid was registered in 1930.<br /></span></span></p></h5><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HZxjZs9ytRU/SO0SlO2yafI/AAAAAAAAEaw/Nen7ncxPfLQ/s1600-h/puja02a.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HZxjZs9ytRU/SO0SlO2yafI/AAAAAAAAEaw/Nen7ncxPfLQ/s400/puja02a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254876771063589362" border="0" /></a></span><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color:BROWN;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">The back of a Puja clock from German firm of Jauch and Schmid.</span><br /><br /></span></span> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_HZxjZs9ytRU/SO0Shdl7aNI/AAAAAAAAEao/vw06lcW6Qoo/s1600-h/puja01b.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_HZxjZs9ytRU/SO0Shdl7aNI/AAAAAAAAEao/vw06lcW6Qoo/s400/puja01b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254876706299930834" border="0" /></a>Original advertisement for a 1940 Puja Clock<br /></span></div><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /><br />via <a href="http://www.clock-museum.co.uk/w1039.htm">Clock-Museum.co.uk</a><br />via<a href="http://www.dself.dsl.pipex.com/MUSEUM/museum.htm"> DSELF</a><br /><br />And thanks to Greg Blonder of <a href="http://www.genuineideas.com/">Genuine Ideas</a> and his similarly conceived thermoscopic solar motor inventions--><a href="http://www.genuineideas.com/HallofInventions/SolarFerrisWheel/solarferriswheel.html">LINK</a></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size:130%;">See also;</span><br /></span><span style="font-size:130%;"><a href="http://watchismo.blogspot.com/search/label/clock">All Watchismo Times Cloc<span style="font-size:100%;">k Posts</span></a><br /><a href="http://watchismo.blogspot.com/search/label/escapements">All Escapement Posts</a><br /><a href="http://watchismo.blogspot.com/search/label/offbeat">All Offbeat Posts</a><br /><span style="font-size:100%;"></span></span><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /><span style="font-size:100%;">| <a href="http://www.watchismo.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Watchismo Blog</a> | <a href="http://www.watchismo.com/" target="_blank">Watchismo Shop</a> | <a href="mailto:watchismo@gmail.com">Contact Us</a> | <a href="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverifySubmit?feedId=519582">Subscribe</a> |</span></span>Watchismohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00546529966461263571noreply@blogger.com
