Notes: "Abstract. In the foyer of the Department of Physics at the University of Otago in Dunedin is an atmospheric clock which, in principle, has not needed winding since it was made by Arthur Beverly in 1864. In practice of course it has stopped on a number of occasions, when its mechanism needed cleaning, when there was a mechanical failure, when the Physics Department moved to new quarters, and on occasions when the ambient temperature has not fluctuated sufficiently.
