Clock dials are attached to the front plate of the movement by means of short cylindrical pillars, which are riveted to the dial so that they cannot be seen from the front. They are usually sited so that the riveted ends are concealed beneath the chapter ring. The ends of these dial feet pass through holes in the front plate of the movement and are secured with tapered steel pins. There are usually four dial feet on an English longcase dial but country-made 30-hour clocks are often found to have only three.
