The reduction gear is part of the hand mechanism of the clock that conveys movement from the minute hand to the hour hand. It consists of two pairs of cog wheels turning the minute and hour hands. The minute shaft turns together with the central wheel and goes through one revolution in 60 minutes, or one hour. The hour shaft makes one revolution in 12 hours. |
