Synopsis
2022 Reprint of the 1953 U.S. Edition. Facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. First published in 1953, this authoritative work was based on a lifetime's practical experience and has been in continuous demand as a classic work on the subject. Its great value is in its descriptions of the principles of watch and clock construction, which are presented in an easy-to-follow manner. The book opens with a description of the various tools and materials essential for good work; details are then given concerning the construction and repair of the various types of movement, trains, motion work and gearing, the various forms of escapement, keyless mechanisms, balances and balance springs, pendulums, striking and repeating mechanisms, calendars, chronograph work and chronometers. The subject of cleaning is given careful consideration, while filing and turning, the two most important operations in watch and clock making, are given special attention. The construction of specialist tools for repair work, many of which were designed by the author, is explained in some detail and illustrated by working drawings. In all, over 300 illustations are provided.
