Little weights hanging from under the clock, generally in the shape of pinecones on a Cuckoo Clock, are pulled on a standard basis to continue the pendulum's swing and keep accurate time. The mechanism that makes the clock go "coo-coo" is still utilized these days: bellows that push air via modest pipes, comparable to how a pipe organ works.
