For some reason I was looking at an eBay listing for an Emperor wall clock like one I had built many years ago, just to get an idea of resale value (not much) but I came across a term that I'd heard but had no idea what it meant, self-regulating.
It was in the description, but no telling what that meant. I also saw in the listings a non-regulating clock movement listed.
Despite the magic of Google and DuckDuck and Wikipedia, I cannot find anything that tells me what a regulating, self regulating or non-regulating clock is.
I looked under adjustment, and those basically are those which listen to WWV and set themselves, but I think this is a valid term, having heard it some time ago but never looking up the meaning.
Does this seem familiar to anyone here? Or do I have the term way off?
I speculate that it is some mechanical gizmo that allows equal swing of the pendulum even if the clock isn't level, or something like that, but I haven't any idea if my guess is correct.
