Re: Westclock direction
Maybe we need to see a photo of the clock in question's movement to determine if it is just a self starting synchronous or a hybrid induction/synchronous.
But as others have said, it will have reverser pawl to correct running in the wrong direction, but these do wear/break/lube dries out etc, all of which stop their intended function. As for running it in reverse, this will not have any adverse effect, though I don't know why you would let it run backwards?
It is however nice to know these synchronous clocks are still used and enjoyed, I run far too many!
