Question
I HAVE A SMALL CLOCK REPAIR SHOP OUT OF MY HOME. I HAVE A CUSTOMER WITH A GRANDFATHER CLOCK THAT NEEDS A PART THAT CALLED A CLUTCH. ON THE BACK OF THE CLOCK IS A DIAGRAM WHERE I GOT THE INFORMATION. THE CLUTCH CONNECT THE PENDULUM TO THE CLOCK. I CANT SEND YOU A PICTURE OF THE CLUTCH PART ITS SO SMALL I USED A MAGNIFY GLASS TO FIND IT.  DO YOU KNOW WHERE I CAN ORDER THIS CLOCK PART. BRICK CLOCK HOWARD MILLER CLOCK COMPANY MODEL 610116.  THIS INFORMATION IS ALL ON THE BACK.

Answer
I have been repairing clocks for over 38 years and have NEVER needed a clutch for a clock. Why do you?

you will have to do better with your description

610-116 is the HM number for the case design and not relevant to the mechanism- the mechanism will have stamped info on the back brass plate that will be helpful here.
