I had no idea that so many aspects of this had been researched. I thought
that pendulums were yesterday's technology.

Hi Pete,
Yes, if you measure well enough, every mechanical clock reveals periodic
variations from imperfections in its gears, the balance of the hands, changes
in spring tension, and environmental changes such as temperature, humidity and
air pressure. It shows up in spectral plots, in Allan deviation plots, as well
as the time and rate plots. Some examples here:

Add earthquakes to the list of what a pendulum clock will detect:

Most people use this system to measure their pendulum clocks:

As for pendulum clocks and gravity, yes, the very best pendulum clocks in the
world are stable enough to reveal the changes in the acceleration of gravity
due to the periodic motions of our earth-sun-moon. For details see:

I have been pondering pendulum clocks. I was wondering what the ADEV of a
pendulum would show. I assume that you could see the errors in the
gear train.
You should see the period of each gear. You should see the spring wind
down
and being rewound.
Further, would you be able to see the phase of the moon and the tides?
This
is using the pendulum as a gravimeter. Would it be sensitive enough
for that?
(have to stop my mind from wandering.)

Hi:
I just started reading the subject book where the mathematics of the
pendulum are used as a unifying idea to tour physics.
Included is a correct illustration on page 205 of Foucault's gyroscope
demonstration that the earth turns 360 degrees in a sidereal day.
Maybe there will be a reference to a gyroscope as a pendulum that's
making full circles rather than swinging back and forth.
