About the Book

A Watchmaker's Book in Plain LanguageTHE AUTHOR (1946) has but one thought in mind in offering this work: to present the facts in such a manner that the intricate methods required for repairing watches may be more readily understood by those who must educate themselves and do not have the opportunity of attending a technical school. A book to be suitable to a novice must avoid technical terms and be written in a language that may be readily understood by men of ordinary education.The purpose of this work is to go over the various problems that confront the watchmaker in such a way that the novice will benefit from it's plain language. There are so many elements and conditions to be considered that at times the leading authorities do not agree on every point. The answer is in the watch itself, in how it performs, and the time that it keeps. The best results are obtained when we bear in mind fundamental principles, but are still governed to a large extent by the experience we have had in the past on actual work we have done. The topics covered in this book can be understood by it's table of contents which are: Chapter 1: IntroductionChapter 2: The Mainspring and CleaningChapter 3: The Pallet StonesChapter 4: Banking to a Drop and the Correct LockChapter 5: Impulse Angles, Draft, Drop Inside, and OutsideChapter 6: The Swing of the Pallet and Balance Jewel FittingChapter 7: Friction of Balance Pivots & Jewel Pin SettingChapter 8: Roller ShakeChapter 9: Holding the Watch Properly to Test ShakesChapter 10: Safety Action of the Jewel PinChapter 11: Adjusting the Let-OffChapter 12: Jewel Pin Size and Fork JumpsChapter 13: Half-TimeChapter 14: SlideChapter 15: BeatChapter 16: Motion of the BalanceChapter 17: Tests and RulesChapter 18: Resetting Broken or Missing Pallet StonesChapter 19: Replacing the MainspringChapter 20: CleaningChapter 21: Train FreedomChapter 22: Lever EscapementsChapter 23: Oil and OilingChapter 24: Hairsprings and Balance PivotsChapter 25: Heat and ColdChapter 26: PoiseChapter 27: Adjusted WatchesChapter 28: Pinning Point of the HairspringChapter 29: Figuring Beats per HourChapter 30: IsochronismChapter 31: Too Much MotionChapter 32: Fitting the Canon PinionChapter 33: CasingOther books in our...'Wisdom of Old Watchmakers' SeriesAntique Watch Repairing & Adjusting, Third Edition, Emile Borer, John J.
