The set up for the chime assembly has been redesigned and the lever for the strike hammers that runs across the outside of the rear plate also. Also the crutch and pallet arbor bridge are different. The Enfield uses a simplified version of depthing adjustment for the fly pinions. The rack and rack hook and gathering pallet have been reworked but the basic geometry is the same. The position of the warn wheel on the chime train might have shifted by about 1 millimetre. I think there is one position where that may not be true. As I said upthread, you could take any wheel assembly out of either clock and drop it into the corresponding position on the other clock and both wheel and pinion would mesh with the corresponding gears above and below in the train.

Most of the cases were now constructed with stained birch wood rather than the more expensive walnut. After the war, Walter's son Bill joined the company and Walter Clocks was again making their own mantel clocks from the late 1940s into the late 1950s.
