palooka Jacquermarts, also known as clock jacks, were used on striking clocks which regularly tolled on the hour or other unit of time by striking a bell or gong.
Clocks that used an animated device to sound the time were known as automaton clocks, of which the cuckoo clock is a well known type. Apr 7, 2008
