Talk:Repeater (horology)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Move article to Repeater (horology)?

This excellent article has spread beyond the topic 'Minute repeater'. As the article makes clear, there are many forms of repeater, differing only in their striking patterns, and it makes sense to cover them all in a single article. In addition, repeaters were used in clocks as well as watches; in fact they originated in clocks, and the mechanism and striking patterns are similar. I propose moving this article to 'Repeater (horology)', expanding it to cover clock repeaters too, and redirecting Minute repeater and other specialized repeater terms here. --ChetvornoTALK 00:05, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Done. Hope nobody minds. --ChetvornoTALK 01:05, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Merge Repeating clock into this article?

The stub Repeating clock comes under the topic area of this article, and merging it into the larger collection of repeater information found here make sense to me. Thoughts? --ChetvornoTALK 20:08, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Done --ChetvornoTALK 12:32, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
