Question
Hi William,
Have got a fairly modern Grandmother clock with westminster chimes.Which I have recenty taken apart to clean,it is also has a moon face on it.
This is the bit I am not sure of,is the new moon that means that the face goes back to 0?
It is probably a stupid or obvios question but I would like to know please.
Regards
Ray

Answer
I recommend you enter the following web site <www.howtorepairclocks.com> Under Grandfather Clock Repair click on Moon Dial Adjustment.  You will find yourself in a very good treatise on moon dials, including their setup.  As a matter of fact I suggest you will find it helpful to explore the entire site.  Regards WJP
