[QUOTE="Simon Dinsdale, post: 112700, member: 58"] I don't have any photos of the inside but when Russell Smalley was restoring it I saw the inside and the clock mechanism is a bit bigger diameter than yours with approx 3/16" clearance all round to the internal diameter of the 3" case where as your mechanism is a lot smaller than a 3" case. The mechanism mounts via 3 short columns (on a larger PDF than your mounting columns) and these columns connect to a large diameter wavey shaped thin plate which is just a bit smaller than the inside diameter of the case and which is pressed / shapped to absorb shocks and that plate centrally mounts to the case and so the mechanism doesn't connect direct to the case. There are no rubber mountings. Russell had 3 in at the same time and one was off his own Rudge and the third was off a series A Rapide so these appear to be a pre war type so that may be why they are different. I suspect your clock is a post war type. What type of Smiths logo is on the face? [/QUOTE]
Insert quotes…
Verification
The Series 'A' Rapide was known as the '********' Nightmare?
