Choosing the Perfect Spring for Your Barreled Spring Clock - A Guide for Working Clock Repairmen (Paperback): Richard Hansen Choosing the Perfect Spring for Your Barreled Spring Clock - A Guide for Working Clock Repairmen (Paperback)
Richard Hansen
R723 Discovery Miles 7 230 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Correctly choosing a proper replacement main spring when a clock has missing springs (or the wrong springs installed) is a very common problem that clock repairmen often face. From the beginning of his career as a clock repairman, Richard Hansen noticed that when his customers brought him their clocks to be repaired, he would often see evidence of poor repairs, poor techniques and even gross mistakes inflicted on them by previous repairmen. He wondered why he should believe that every spring he found was, in fact, the perfect one for the clock in question? And when he found a spring where the outer end had obviously been re-worked (thus making the spring a bit shorter), he wondered how he would know if it was not then too short? Was it possible to redo the end again, or will that make the spring impossibly too short then? This book is a result of his work to answer some of those questions about choosing springs. It provides a methodology whereby answers can be found by using a set of look-up tables. It's a solution intended for the use of clock repairmen at their bench to find those answers with a minimum of time and effort needed for any given clock in front of them.

John Cronin
R692 Discovery Miles 6 920 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The watch has a long and fascinating history, from a fifteenth-century status symbol of the rich and powerful to the mass-produced everyday timepiece of modern times. This book describes the main technical developments across a 500-year timespan, from the beginnings in Germany and France, through the golden age of English horology in the 18th century, to the development of modern factory production in America and Switzerland. It also sets out to give the general reader and collector a grasp of the key technological developments in watch and sets the lives of the inventors and artisans in the context of the social and economic history of their times. With over 290 photographs and 3D diagrams, this book includes an extensive listing and history of watch brands and manufacturers to assist in identification along with a useful glossary of terms.

Eberhardt (1758-1839) was master clockmaker in Salem for more than thirty-eight years. Albright attributes more than thirty clocks to Eberhardt, building his evidence by a diligent reading of the Moravion records and by a careful catloging of the characteristics of each clock. He reconstructs Eberhardt's methods of clockmaking in precise detail from the inventories and the purchase invoices of equipment and materials, and he attempts to identify the cabinetmaker in each case.
