The repair of clocks calls for a variety of skills and crafts, few
of which can be 'picked up' by bench work alone. In the horological
trade, it is technical practice that the 'prentice hand' is first
tried out on clocks, before attempting repair work on watches.
Clocks have the advantage of possessing sizeable and robust parts
and of being easier to handle. But there the advantage for the
repairer ends. The sizes, shapes, complications and even the
nationalities of clocks appear to be without end. Every movement
has detail difference and, naturally, the defects when due for
repair, are as varied. In this book, the author has dealt with the
usual faults likely to develop in each type of movement in general
use; from the lordly grandfather to the humble alarm. All the tools
and equipment are described and illustrated, together with the ways
of using them. The craftsman's most important and valuable tools of
all - his skilful fingers - are shown in use in the clearest
manner. As is usual in N.A.G. Press textbooks, the drawings have
been specially made from parts under working conditions. A glance
through the book will show their usefulness and clarity. Over 400
line drawings are used throughout and the reader is left in no
doubt of what he is asked to do in following the author's clearly
written technical and practical instructions.
