Hello Jeff, nice to hear from you again.
I was wondering if I could fasten one end of a strip of bimetal
scavengened from an old thermostat onto the back of the bob in such a
way that the free end moved downward as the temperature dropped and with
some trial and error tuning end up with a "temperature compensated
pendulum."
If I understand your idea correctly fastening a bimetal to the bob won't influence the lenght of pendulum thus won't have any effect on it's period of swing.
Comments appreciated, I'd really like to keep the existing movement in
that clock rather than jump to a quartz movement.
I'm convinced you won't replace pendulum movement with quartz one.
Better place radio controlled clock in the kitchen as time measuring device and let pendulum clock work bearing in mind it's imperfect behaviour as temperature changes (just correct readings every day or so).
What others think ?
best, Wojtek
