About this Item

1997 Second Edition of the 1905 original. A FINE, like-new, bright, clean, tight, collector-worthy copy sans flaws. From the Foreword of J. E. Coleman: "In writing a foreword to the second edition of this practical book on clock repair, I am glad of the opportunity to voice my appreciation for it. For a long time I have been hoping someone would re-publish this work, which was first printed in 1905. As a clockmaker, I have felt a definite need for it in the years it has been out of print. Good, thorough-going clock books are scarce. It is a pleasure to welcome back one of the best.".and, further on,."Basic principles are stressed throughout and they are unchanged. The clocks and striking trains discussed are the very ones now coming to the bench for repair, so this information also is timely." PROLIFICALLY ILLUSTRATED in 161 black and white drawings. 502 text pages followed by 8 pages of advertisements for other related Arlington publications. LF3.
