This is a most comprehensive and detailed instruction book
on how to make an English Style Bracket Clock. Every aspect of the
construction is fully covered with over 100 illustrations and drawings. Even
the engraving of the dial in the lathe is covered and full details of the
construction of the case are also included. The author's workshop is very well
equipped and full use is made of the wide range of tools and equipment he
possesses. Some of the methods suggested such as milling the edges of the
plates might be considered somewhat pedantic as these dimensions are not
critical and this work is most usually done by filing. However the author has
provided instructions which leave nothing to chance. The construction of the
fusee in particular is fully covered and two appendices at the end of the book
deal with the theory of the curve. The book is profusely illustrated and
contains all the necessary working drawings in order to make both the case and
the clock movement. The drawings were originally dimensioned in Imperial, but
on bad advice were changed to Metric with a calculator, as at the time of
publishing, the U.K. was in the throes of changing over. Those who wish to
work in Imperial can easily change the dimensions back again.
