The Watch and Clockmakers Handbook 190 pages

For the past four or five years I have been continually urged to add to the little pamphlet issued under the title of The Watch and Clockmakers Handbook, The majority of my correspondents were country watchmakers and most of them indicated some particular subject on which information would be welcome. These expressions of opinion all pointed to the production of a book by some one practically acquainted with the various branches of the watch and clock trades, and 1 therefore felt considerable hesitation in attempting a task I could not hope to accomplish without more assistance than I had any right to expect. But help has been freely given and, however incomplete and badly put together this little work may be,the fact that it is in some measure a reflex of the experience of the most eminent men engaged in the horological arts leads me to hope it may be of value.
