About This Book

The text provides a practical, workshop-focused guide to the design, regulation, and repair of mechanical clocks. It explains pendulum behavior and compensating pendulums, various escapements (dead-beat, anchor, gravity, pin wheel, cylinder, lever), time and striking trains, springs, weights, motion work, chimes and striking mechanisms, calendars, dials, and case repairs. Chapters address measurement, pivots, plates, cleaning, torsion pendulums for long-duration clocks, and electric clock circuits and batteries. Numerous illustrations, diagrams, and step-by-step procedures aim to equip apprentices and repairers with the technical principles and hands-on methods needed to construct, adjust, and maintain accurate timekeepers.
