Because the period is based on the length of the pendulum, an increase in temperature (such as that as occurs in summer) will make the material, normally metal, in the pendulum expand - which is why better clocks often had wooden pendulum rods. Since it is longer its period increases and makes the clock run slower than normal. Numerous inventions were developed to counteract this effect, most taking advantage of the properties of thermal expansion of various materials and how they are arranged in the pendulum.
the pendulum clocks gets slow because in summer its length increases due to expansion of heat but in winter it doesnt happens.
During the summer the pendulum which is generally made of metal, expands due to the rise in temperature. this causes the pendulum to move slower and hence the clock becomes slower.
In the 1930s
Clocks that has a pendulum may contain mercury.
That is a misspelling of Pendulum. A pendulum is a weight suspended from a pivot so that it can swing freely. Some clocks have this...

why pendulum clocks dont work at sea
In the 1930s
doctor.Galileo Galilee found that a pendulum of a given length takes always the same time to complete one oscillation .this observation led to the development of pendulum clocks .winding clocks & wristwatch's were refinements of the pendulum clocks

The time period of a pendulum clock is given by T = 2 π root over l/g , where l is the length of the pendulum . Thus , T is directly proportional to lenght . in summers , T increases as l increases. while in winter , T will decrease as l decreases . Like wise , pendulum clocks go fast in winter and slow in summer
pendulum clocks, anything with hinges, door handles
Grandfather Clocks and Swings.
Oh yes. pendulum Clocks rely on mechanics. Digital Clocks rely on Electronics. And we didn't learn to use Electronics until way later than mechanics.
They had pendulum clocks. (What you might call a grandfather clock). Also sundials, water clocks, candles.
