This book covers a wide range of subjects
concerned with the repairing and making of clocks and some of the
tools required in this work. The opening chapters cover routine
overhauls to four different types of clock. These descriptions
detail the common procedures of pivot polishing, rebushing and
other repairs. The processes are fully illustrated. Then follows a
series of short chapters dealing with problems such as handling
main springs, a loose pendulum bob, a damaged spring barrel, a
bent plate pillar, taper pins, restoring antique clock screws,
rack tail replacement and fitting steady pins etc. A section on
the use of the small lathe in making parts for clocks follows, and
the book concludes with a description of the John Wilding depthing
tool and wheel crossing template.
