About This Book

The work provides a practical, technical guide to oils and lubrication for fine timepieces, surveying sources and methods of refining animal and mineral oils, the elementary physics of friction and lubrication, and theories of friction. It then applies these principles to the design and maintenance of horological mechanisms, compares properties and relative values of common lubricants, reports experiments and manufacturer observations, and offers recommendations for selection, application, and upkeep to reduce wear and preserve rate stability.
