Clock Repairing as a Hobby
An Illustrated How-To Guide for the Beginner

Harold C. Kelly

All 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 movements and design, including particulars of escapements, pendulums, and balance wheels, it also provides the sheet music for popular chimes. The in-depth information-with explanations of clock repair terminology and details on tools, materials, and supplies needed for success-will benefit even skilled enthusiasts.
