Answer

balance
the new style floating balance looks like this: http://www.merritts.com/store4/public/product.aspx?ProductID=82565&SearchText=p-...


but I presume you have the old style like the one attached:

..here is photo (below)of the regulating unit on the top rear of your clock movement- hold the rim of #6 while moving any one of the 3 prongs on #5 as far as it will go to the right with a pencil. This will make it go as fast as it can without overhaul and moving to the left will slow it down.
