Question
I  was lifting  the center time counter weight  and pulling  the  chain, then  I  had  the  chain loose in my  hand.  What is  the  secret  to put  it  back on the  'sprocket'  where it  belongs???.  It  is  on  a  tempus  fugit clock.

Answer
Rehanging a chain can be time consuming and maddening.  The old blood pressure can go though the roof, plus there is a very real risk for causing costly to repair damage.  It's a job best left to the professional.  Should you elect this route ask permission to watch how it is done.  With that under your belt you would be in a better position to do it yourself, the next time it happens.  And happen it will.  Regards WJP
