Hi Greg
Yes the fusee corrects the difference in tension of the spring.
As for timekeeping everything is against it even working let alone keeping good time.
The big enemy is dirt on the track and ball and humidity-- condensation --temperature change-- vibration ETC
The ball and track require regular cleaning even if you cant see any dirt.
The clock is best described as a conversation piece it provokes great discussion as to how it works even from those that are mechanically minded and it's my wife's pride and joy.
