John,

Thanks for clearing that up for me.  I'm going to start cutting sprockets this weekend. 

I think that the "center" wheel is also the "2nd" wheel, so that one will need a longer arbor so I can make it turn the minute hand.  Then, as tradition, an idler wheel running to the hour wheel.  I'm not too worried about the period of the pendulum yet.  I've had a couple of clocks to repair where I had to guess-and-check the pendulum.  In one case, someone had put a grandfather movement (114 CM pendulum) into a wall clock so the pendulum was WAY too long for the casework.  I put in a 66 CM movement and it looked a lot better.

Steve
