"In search of lost jigsaw", declared Ben Schaffer from the Vogon ship:

BS>When I found myself in 1922 Paris I was hoping for Proust, and its Proust
BS>Ive got. But my question is: what do I do with the childhood clock?


This was a guess-the-verb puzzle, unfortunately.  It was unfair, IMHO, because 
when you try to "push pendulum" etc. it tells you that you shouldn't touch the 
clock or something, which made me think I was totally on the wrong track.  It 
*should* have said "A simple push is not enough to move the heavy pendulum" or 
something like that.

BS>Also, I have not figured out how to activate the jigsaw-piece-detector,
BS>and so am not sure if Ive collected all the pieces along the way that I
BS>should have. Any hints here?

As I recall, the KD (Kaldecki device) was shaped like a gyroscope, wasn't it?

              This space intentionally left blank.














To move the pendulum, "swing on pendulum"
To use the device, "Turn device"
