In a Grandfather Clock Shop the pendula will all swing in harmony, even if 
they started out differently, after a few hours.

How do they manage to communicate with each other?  Is this information being 
exchanged through the walls of the shop, through the air?

I am mystified by this phenomenon so any insight would be apreciated, many 
thanks
