All of the precise and delicate gears and levers in a clock can appear dizzying to the amateur; but this guide, with its wonderfully detailed diagrams, can clear things up even for the beginner. Besides covering the theory behind clock movement and design, including the particulars of escapements, pendulums, and balance wheels, it also provides the sheet music for popular chimes. The American striking clock, the 400-day clock, and the alarm clock receive special attention. The in-depth information with explanations of clock repair terminology and details on the tools, materials, and supplies that are needed for success, will benefit even skilled enthusiasts. For anyone who wants to take up the hobby of repairing clocks, there is no better introduction.
