How To Repair 20 American Clocks is the
author's eighth book about clock repair and clockmaking. It is the longest of
the books, featuring a new approach: the whole clock is covered! Each chapter
covers the assembly procedure for an American movement. And, depending on the
particular clock being restored, chapters discuss one or more of the following:
escapement, hands, dial, pendulum, and case. Each clock is scored for
construction quality, ease of assembly, ease of adjustment, and timekeeping
accuracy. There is also the author's analysis of the "highs" and "lows" for each
clock. You'll find more: gear tooth counts for time and strike trains, beats per
hour, and mainspring specifications. The author has included 18 striking clocks
by the major U.S. makers, including Seth Thomas, Ansonia, New Haven, Ingraham,
and others. There is one timepiece with date function (Sessions), and one type
of electromechanical clock (Poole). Featured case styles of the 19th and 20th
centuries include OG, walnut shelf, steeple, cottage, black mantel, wall
regulator, and more. The book is 8-1/2" x 11" in size and protected by clear
plastic covers. It is comb bound to allow the pages to open flat on your bench.
There are 20 chapters plus an introduction, table of contents, index and
mainspring table & 140 pages packed with 246 photos and drawings!
