A silly place to put a Grandfather Clock?

PRLog (Press Release) – Mar 15, 2008 – Strange to think that something so quaint as Grandfather Clocks can still fascinate us today. Sales are on the increase, and there is a stunning variety of styles and  designs besides. As a visit to http://bimzbiz.com/grandfather.htm will demonstrate, as well as traditional Black Forest designs, the Jefferson, the Trafalgar and the Van Gogh are among the scores of available styles these days.

Why are Grandfather Clocks so tall? From early times, clocks have depended for their accuracy on pendulums, which originally hung down from clocks suspended on a wall. Soon cabinet makers were invited to contribute, designing wooden cases to shield the pendulum and other mechanism from dust, curious fingers and, no doubt, the household dog or cat.

Why Grandfather? No doubt because, in the days of the extended family, Grandfather stood tall in the family`s estimation, and the clock was named to recognise his benign authority and dependability
