I am looking for a type of clock that I don't know the name of. Instead of a pendulum or spring movement it has a rod coming out of the top with a ball and string on it, about 3 inches or so are two rods on each side of the center rod, the center rod pivots causing the ball and string to wrap around the outside rods and then unwrap , swing around and wrap around the rod on the other side, unwrap and repeat the operation to control the movement of the clock. does anyone know what this type of movement is called??? Can't find anything on the web about it, but have seen the clocks in action about
