About this book
Clocks, wrote Ward L. Goodrich in 1905, had fallen into neglect while watches became cheaper and more common, leaving few good clockmakers and many careless ones. His book is a study of the construction, regulation and repair of timekeeping mechanism, published in Chicago.
Chapters deal with pendulums, mercurial and compensating, then with the Graham, recoil, Dennison, cylinder and lever escapements. Others cover springs, striking work, cuckoo clocks, calendars, electric clocks, dials, and casing. A last chapter gives hints on making a regulator. Goodrich had earlier written The Watchmaker's Lathe, Its Use and Abuse.
