Clock Design & Construction - Laurie Penman.

Details 

Skilled clockmakers and restorers who enjoy teaching the craft are few in number, and Laurie Penman is probably one of the best known. In "Clock Design and Construction" he has brought together his experience at the bench and in teaching, to provide a source book of information that a clockmaker needs, including the information that many previous books have assumed the reader has acquired through apprenticeship. Each aspect of the movement and dial of a clock is considered, and the instructions needed actually to carry out the work are clearly given in the text and line drawings. Whether the reader needs to know how to make a deadbeat escapement or how to set about painting or engraving a clock dial, the methods and design considerations are provided in a very practical, down to earth manner. Thus "Clock Design and Construction" is written to assist both the beginner and the experienced clockmaker, in language understandable to both.
