Abstract
IN the absence of any details, apparently Mr. Wilson's simplest plan would be to insulate the hammer and bell of his “small striking clock,” and arrange that a galvanic current should pass through both, when they come in contact by the act of striking: this current of course to be directed to a large electro-magnet, to raise the hammer for striking on his bigger bell. Should the striking of Mr. Wilson's smaller clock be on a gong with a leather-beaked hammer, a separate attachment must be made for contact.
