This book describes the construction of two different clock
projects - an eight day regulator clock and a month going regulator
clock - and features full-page fully-dimensionalised working
drawings supported by detailed photographs. It also includes
instructions and plans for constructing glazed wood cases for each
project. It is intended for model engineering hobbyists with basic
facilities to enable them to venture into the field of horology by
building their own precision clocks which can become treasured
family heirlooms. The term 'regulator' simply describes a precision
clock. Every clockmaker and repairer needs such an instrument to
use in regulating his repair and new work. The typical English
regulator, as described in the first section, beats at one second
intervals and will run for eight days between winding. The second
project is a month going regulator clock, an equally high precision
type which will run for a whole month between winding. This book is
based on a popular series of popular articles originally published
over many years in Model Engineer magazine.
This collection of 18 unique projects for home workshop equipment enables the model engineer to create useful and even essential items that cannot be purchased commercially, including an auxiliary workbench, tap holders, distance and height gauges, a lathe back stop, a tailstock die-holder, faceplate clamps, collets, DTI accessories, sash clamps, low profile clamps and a tapping stand.
Each project is designed to make the model engineer's task in hand easier then it would have been had the items not been made.
Explanations and illustrations help anyone become a
better-than-average builder flyer and competitor. From basic tools
techniques to state-of-the-art materials, this collection of expert
advice helps beginners and experts improve the appearance and
increase the flight time of any flying model, whether it's powered
by rubber, CO(2) or remote control.
