Summary: A computer model has been constructed of a long case clock standing on a resilient surface, or within a case of impaired shear stiffness, whereby the head of the clock rocks in response to the swinging of its pendulum. The equations of motion are written in matrix form, and are solved by matrix inversion. The model accounts for the tendency of
