This book is the authoritative work on chronometers. The book treats marine chronometers from the earliest days to Atomic clocks. The book contains an excellent first-hand description of the development of the Hamilton marine chronometers model 21 and model 22 during W.W.II. Whitney was a chronometer maker at the U.S. Naval Observatory during World War II and had first-hand experience in this regard. He provides a general discussion of the disassembly, cleaning, and oiling of a chronometer and a list of chronometer makers in the United States and Europe. There are 499 pages of scholarly research, profusely illustrated with photos, charts and original, easy-to-understand drawings. In the mid-seventies, Marvin Whitney began extensive research for this book. He also took advantage of the archive records in Washington, D.C. as well as traveled extensively to New York, and throughout New England searching out little-known facts about chronometers and their makers in general. This material became the backbone of this book. This is a absolute "Must have" for the Hamilton Chronometer owner. A clean very presentable copy in a Brodart mylar jacket. Signed by Author(s).
