- Another curiosity is that small changes of Going vs Amplitude [link] shows a positive slope - not sure why. And there seem to be clusters - as if behaviour changes quickly and sits still for a while. The normal physics of a pendulum [link] predicts a negative slope, as here [link] so there is something more subtle going on. Maybe the spider again?

- Just a general remark, it has been noticeable over the last few days that pendulum amplitude forms a nice linear relationship with air density. This fits perfectly with a 0.5*rho*V^2 drag law. see [link]

- clock wound at 1.05pm - note the small glitch in amplitude, perhaps opening the clock case causes air currents that causing a small change in pendulum motion. Or maybe the act of winding moves the clock bed slightly causing the pendulum to be disturbed.
