In this book John Wilding, a devoted horologist, illustrates the construction of a truly excellent Weight Driven 8-Day Wall Clock, the movement of which, is so desired, could be fitted into a long case. In the opinion of expert horologists at that time, it was a work in the highest tradition, not only absorbing to the maker but so designed that it could be produced with the minimum of equipment. It is written in a concise, practical and step-by-step manner, and the movement is not over complicated be it for student or those with greater experience. Only a small drilling machine and a light engineering lathe are used during the construction. All operations including wheel and pinion cutting are carried out on these two simple machine tools. Condition of book Fair. Tightly bound and clean, no tears or folds throughout. Cover clean, no marks, softening at back corner and spine ends.
