Question
William,
    I am working on an Franz Hermle 1050-020 clock.  I have everything
working but cannot adjust the time.  It runs slow (15 mim/day  /-).  How
does one adjust the time?

William

Answer
Your 1050-020 has what is called a floating balance, minor time adjustments to time keeping are quite simple and straight forward.  Rather than spending a half hour or more to describe how this is done I will refer you to a source on the internet that does a fair job of doing just that.  Goto: <home.earthlink.net/~atmosman/earthftp.html>  This will bring up an index, click on 'Hermle floating balance'   That should do it for you.  Regards WJP
