I am looking for sources for plans and workings for a LaRochelle style clock. Anybody know of any sites/stores for grandfather clock plans?
Thanks in advance!

http://www.glassetchingfever.com shows a picture. Westminster chime Kieninger movements, and faces that look close to what is pictured, are available at http://www.slarose.com. I've paged through a lot of how-to clock books, but I don't recall seeing a plan for a LaRochelle. If you find one, let us know where you found it.
Jim,
Thanks. There is also a tall clock that I believe originated in Sweden that looks similar to a La Rochelle. It is shaped like a woman/man who ate a little bit too much cheesecake! Curvy design which gets fat early then comes in then out again at the top Sound familiar?
I've probably looked at 20 sites today for plans with no luck. I'll keep looking and let you know.
Reaching deep into memory (risky, for me), I think there is a Swedish clock, as you describe, at the Winterthur museum, Wilmington, Delaware. But they don't have plans for any of their pieces, and don't allow photography or taking measurements.
