PREFACE.. IN this volume the aim of the Author, who has I himself
served an apprenticeship to the trade of Watchmaking, and worked at
the watchmakers bench for the best years of his life, is to give in
plain language practical directions for carrying out the various
operations involved in Repairing and Cleaning Watches. He has
attempted to cover the whole ground of Watch Repairing, from the
simplest operations to the most complex and difficult and it is
hoped that the book will prove of service alike to the workman, the
apprentice, and the arnateur. To the first-mentioned, the chapters
on Springing and Adjusting and on Complicated Watches are mofe
particularly addressed. These chapters, in particular, contain
informatlon which it is believed cannot be found elsewhere, and
will, the Autlior feels assured, be welcome even to those who are
aiready adepts in the art of Watch . Repairing. The illustrations
are a special feature, being all original and the Author having
tried to avoid the tendency which so many technical books have of
degenerating into mere catalogues of tools and appliances, he may
confidently say of the present work that it at least has the merit
of being fresh from cover to cover. F. J GARRARD CONTENTS. CHAPTER
