Description
Clocks and watches require a range of skills to repair, with technical practice often being tried out first before attempting work on timepieces. While clocks have robust parts that make them easier to handle, they also present challenges due to their varied sizes, shapes, complications, and nationalities. This book covers the common faults likely to develop in each type of movement, from grandfather clocks to alarm clocks. It includes detailed descriptions and illustrations of tools and equipment, as well as practical instructions for using them. The author's emphasis is on demonstrating the importance of skilled fingers in clock repair, with over 400 line drawings used throughout the book. The technical and practical guidance provided makes it clear what actions are required, making this a useful resource for those looking to learn or improve their clock repair skills.
