Petrovaradin Fortress: Clock Tower Mechanism

摘要

This paper presents an analysis of the mechanism found in the clock tower of the Petrovaradin Fortress in Novi Sad. The clock mechanism dates back to the beginning of the XVIII century and thus has great historical value. It consists of three interconnected mechanisms - the timing mechanism that keeps time and powers the clock hands, the quarter striking mechanism that sounds the quarter-hours and the full hour striking mechanism that sounds the full hours.
