Weight Drum

The weight drum is a part in the form of a cylinder rotating on its axis. The drum is relatively small in size: 176 mm in diameter and 255 mm long. One turn of the drum corresponds to one full 360? sweep of the minute hand and this means a relatively brief interval between windings of the clock (one day).
