This profusely illustrated volume forms a step-by-step instruction
manual on the repair of mechanical clocks and watches. Donald de
Carle was a Fellow of the British Horological Institute, and the
author of many standard works on the subject of horology, who based
his writings on many years of practical experience. The book begins
with simple clocks and watches then proceeds to more complicated
types. The tools and apparatus needed are described and
illustrated. Modern types of mechanical clock are mainly dealt
with, but attention is also given to the movements of older long
case and fusee types as many of them are now being repaired as a
result of interest in antique clocks. The chapters on watch
repairing deal with chronographs and repeaters as well as
self-winding mechanisms. The latest developments in ultrasonic
cleaning of horological movements and their electronic timing are
also described and illustrated. This work is an invaluable guide
for all concerned with the repair not only of clocks and watches
but also of small mechanisms in general.
