movement is a silk tread suspension escapement and the strike is a count wheel.
The painting has multiple moving elements controlled by a series of wheels and cables driven
by two large spring movements.

This is a clock which was restored for the Westwood Historical
Society after it was donated by Allen Baker. The clock has
been part of the Baker family for several generations and is a
wonderful addition to the Fisher School.
Clockmaker Daniel Knower worked in Roxbury,
Massachusetts around 1800.
