In Response To: Funny Jalle:) ()

: You just suggested to roll back hands:)
: Yesterday was thread in other forum, where
: everyone agreed that you cannot move back
: minute hand, even one minute back is
: dangerous:) Actually I don't get it. I think
: that it is OK to roll back, some models use
: the method back-and-forth rolling around
: midnight to change the date.
THERE IS NO PROBLEM TURNING MINUTE HANDS BACK THE SAME SYSTEM THAT ALLOWS THE HAND FORWARD ALSO ALLOWS IT BACKWARDS ,ON MECHANICALS THE MINUTE HAND IS FITTED TO A CANNON PINION WHICH IS FRICTION FITTED TO THE CENTRE WHEEL ALLOWING THE HANDS TO BE SET WITHOUT MOVING THE TRAIN WHEELS IN EITHER DIRECTION,PERFECTLY SAFE UNLESS THE OIL DRYS UP THEN THE CANNON PINION CAN STICK FAST TO THE CENTER WHEEL.
