In reality this subject has only been treated quite superficially in the past; consequently, this study will surprise them. It makes use of primary source information obtained from many actual Willard clocks. All of the old second and third hand Willard references were ignored. By means of this basic and analytical approach, the authors have introduced a completely fresh new concept of Simon Willard's clock designs and of the man himself. Willard's sources of ideas and how he carried them out is the essence of this book." PROFUSELY ILLUSTRATED in black & white photography of Willard's clockS and clock mechanisms with accompanying descriptive captions. "Simon Willard's achievements during his sixty very active years as the first developer of American clocks have finally been recognized in this volume.
