Hello from Princeton, NJ!
I recently had a customer ask about the difference between a passing strike and a strike train with repetition in our Regulatory Pulley Clocks. I realized that when we translate the product descriptions from German to English, some features of the clocks might get lost in translation. So, I wanted to provide a brief clarification.
The customer was particularly interested in our Classica P70M and Classica S70M models and wanted to understand the difference between the two, distinguished by the letters P and S before the number 70 (which indicates the length of both clocks - 70cm).
P stands for a passing strike, which produces a single chime on the hour that can be turned on and off. On the other hand, S stands for a strike train with repetition, where an hour chime rings on the hour as many times as indicated (e.g., nine strikes for 9 o'clock), plus a half-hour strike that sounds once every hour at the half-hour mark. Both the hour and half-hour strikes can be turned on and off. Additionally, the hour strike can be manually triggered past the hour, repeating the number of strikes from the last completed hour.
For a demonstration of the two different striking chimes, please watch the following installation videos:

S70: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdNy8H9D-pI
The S70 has a longer installation instruction video. You can fast forward to 6:40 to experience the chimes.
I hope this clears up any confusion and, more importantly, piques your interest in exploring our Regulatory Pulley Collection!
