Things you should know:

The pendulum clock was developed when one day the Power Board shifted some power lines and left a pole standing without lines. They gifted it to the Waterworks and Chris the owner at the time decided to use it as a structure for a clock.
He debated for sometime as to whether the clock should drive the pendulum as it does in a normal clock or whether the pendulum should drive the clock.
In the end the latter won the day, as Chris decided he wanted to provide an entertaining thing to watch rather than something that keeps time!
