Is Ormolu a clock?
DeleteOrmolu is an alloy for decoration. It is not necessarily clock.
Deletehttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mantel_clock
DeleteOrmolu is only one of the constituents and not the clock by itself
Delete5d i took "in" as def. Unite is to Join together as one .
ReplyDeletehad to confirm. This is what Free dic. says-
ReplyDelete1. (Art Terms)
a. a gold-coloured alloy of copper, tin, or zinc used to decorate furniture, mouldings, etc
b. (as modifier): an ormolu clock.
22A- Wind (~wynd/ winding) to be read as a verb to get reel? Not wind as a breeze.
