Description

The repair of clocks calls for a variety of skills and crafts, few of which can be 'picked up' by bench work alone. In the horological trade, it is technical practice that the 'prentice hand' is first tried out on clocks, before attempting repair work on watches. Clocks have the advantage of possessing sizeable and robust parts and of being easier to handle. But there the advantage for the repairer ends. The sizes, shapes, complications and even the nationalities of clocks appear to be without end. Every movement has detail difference and, naturally, the defects when due for repair, are as varied. In this book, the author has dealt with the usual faults likely to develop in each type of movement in general use; from the lordly grandfather to the humble alarm. All the tools and equipment are described and illustrated, together with the ways of using them. The craftsman's most important and valuable tools of all - his skilful fingers - are shown in use in the clearest manner. As is usual in N.A.G. Press textbooks, the drawings have been specially made from parts under working conditions. A glance through the book will show their usefulness and clarity. Over 400 line drawings are used throughout and the reader is left in no doubt of what he is asked to do in following the author's clearly written technical and practical instructions. Read more

  • Practical Clock Repairing By Donald de Carle
Format: Hardcover
If you want a beginner handbook, this is not the one for you. Try Steven G Conover's Clock Repair Basics. If you desire a book that covers both solid theory and shop tool use for clock repairing, than this is a good reference and instructive book. Keep in mind the book's First Edition was 1946 and this Third Edition was 1969, so it is packed full of well drawn line drawings to help illustrate its many discussions. If you prefer plenty of black and white or colored pictures to learn from, again, this book is not the one for you. Donald's hands-on manual tool use for repairing clocks is very instructive and lends a different approach to great results, vice some of the more modern clock repair authors that use many of the more elaborate specific function tools of today's clock repair world. Specifically, Donald's discussions on clock movement gearing and pendulum theory and calculations are very useful reference material,as well as, his indepth repair discussions for Carriage and Fusee clock movements. The hard bound book is fabricated well and has clear print throughout, however, again the book's cover contains the only color you will find in this 2011 reprint. Amazon packaged the book well and shipped quickly. ... show more
