The Modern Clock a Study of Time Keeping Mechanism; Its Construction, Regulation and Repair

by Ward L. Goodrich

Lack of reliable guidance is what makes the present volume so valuable. Few books on clock repair are as completeand authoritative. In scope it goes far beyond the cataloguing of historical types of clocks. The book provides in one handy volume a wealth of technical advice, which all can consult asthe need arises.There is advice to the beginner, counsel for the specialist and information of value to the hobbyist or collector. In this one book we find basic fundamentals, sound business practices and specific helps on the repair of the principal types of clocks.Not much in the field of clockwork is left unmentioned. The book fills a definite gap on the clockmaker's reference shelfand certainly should be placed there by anyone who calls himself a clockmaker.
