<p>[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 7454, member: 25"]It's not an official hole, as you can see. I can only suppose some earlier owner had a reason for drilling it (badly), possibly to stick a knitting needle through to stop or start the pendulum without moving the clock. Some very heavy French clocks have a gadget to do this built in, what you have there is a nasty bodge that luckily does not show with the door closed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
