Description

Horology is the art or science of measuring time. Clocks, watches, clockwork, sundials, clepsydras, timers, time recorders and marine chronometers are all examples of instruments used to measure time.

People interested in horology are called horologists. That term is used both by people who deal professionally with timekeeping apparatus (watchmakers, clockmakers), as well as aficionados and scholars of horology. Horology and horologists have numerous organizations, both professional associations and more scholarly societies.

This EBook collection includes 1000's of pages of information about all aspects of Clock Making & Repairing and includes detailed diagrams and illustrations. The Ebooks are high quality copies of the original books from the early 18th and 19th centuries..

Book 1 ~ 206 pages A Practical Course In Horology (1944) The purpose of this book is to present the fundamentals of horology, both in theory and practice. Part 1 deals with wheel work and gearing, which involve the work of calculating the number of teeth of missing wheels and pinions and in determining their proper diameters. Principles o f escapement design and an analysis o f the balance and spring are given considerable space. Part 2 treats repair methods, in which the making of a balance staff and the adjustment of the escapement are given more than the usual space allotted to these subjects. Part 3 is concerned with the adjustments to position, isochronism, and temperature, factors that may be called the finishing touches o f the horological profession.

Book 2 ~ 339 pages Watch And Clock Making (1885) This volume is intended not only as a text-book for technical classes, but is designed also as a book of reference for the practical workman.

Book 3 ~ 542 pages The Watchmakers' Hand-Book (1881) This book will be found of daily use to a wider circle of watch worker. We believe that there is hardly a branch of the watchmaking trade which may not benefit by the numerous practical details that are given ; indeed, although the work is specially designed for the use of watchmakers, a great portion of it will seen to be no less applicable to other mechanical arts.

Book 4 ~ 151 pages Watchmaker's And Jeweler's Practical Hand Book (1892) Many original ideas will be found in these pages, but the greater part of the matter has been compiled from the best text books of the day, from magazine articles and from suggestions and hints furnished by sources in the trade. The works of Saunier, Gross man, Glasgow, Reid and others have been drawn upon largely for the information here given. The purpose has been to supply the student with an elementary work from which he may derive a good insight into the various principles of performing various kinds of work, and at the same time to supply the practical man at the bench with a handy reference work.

Book 5 ~ 328 pages A Treatise On Watch-Work, Past And Present (1873) Books have appeared of late on nearly every given subject; and, at but a small price, highly-illustrated works on art and science daily attract the attention of the anxious inquirer.

Book 6 ~ 318 pages A Rudimentary Treatise On Clock And Watch making (1850)

Book 7 ~ 56 pages The Watch Maker's And Jeweller's Hand- Book (1866) Various works have been published on the subject of Chronometry, in some of which, by the aid of diagrams, the peculiar structure of the different instruments employed in noting time, as Chronometer, Duplex, Lever, Horizontal and Cylinder Escapement Watches, have been accurately and scientifically explained.

Book 8 ~ 195 pages The Watch Jobber's Handybook (1889) Chapters - I. Early Time Measures And Modern Watches, II. A Watch Movement And How To Take It Apart, III. Examining, Cleaning And Putting Together, IV. Repairs And Adjustment.

Book 9 ~ 186 pages Watch And Clockmaker's Handbook (1881)

Book 10 ~ 29 pages The Story Of Edward Howard And The First American Watch

Book 11 ~ 520 pages Old Scottish Clockmakers (1921) In 1903 a first edition of this volume was published, and its instant success made clear that its contents were acceptable to a very large number of people. The names, data, and notes there given were reproduced in numerous papers and magazines all over the country, so much so that the intense interest aroused stimulated me to make further inquiries which are embodied in this volume. It may be mentioned that the occurrence of the Great War prevented its appearance sooner.

Book 12 ~ 160 pages On The Springing And Adjusting Of Watches (1898) This book is intended for those tolerably conversant with Watchmaking generally, yet who desire guidance in this particular branch, rather than for beginners, and therefore a knowledge of n1any elementary facts is assumed.

Book 13 ~ 63 pages History Of The American Clock Business
For The Past Sixty Years (1860) On the following pages in my simple language, and in a bungling manner, I have told the story of my life. I am no author, but claim a title which I consider nobler, that of a "Mechanic." Being possessed of a remarkable memory, I am able to give a minute account and even the date of every important transaction of my whole life, and distinctly remember events which took place when I was but a child, three and a half years old , and how I celebrated my fourth birthday. I could relate many instances of my boyhood and later day experiences if my health and strength would permit. It has been no part of my plan to boast, exaggerate, or misrepresent anything, but to give "plain facts."

Book 14 ~ 42 pages On The Construction And Theory Of The Dead Escapement For Clocks. The following papers, on the construction of Graham's Dead Escapement for Clocks, were written so long since as the year 1823, and appeared in the Journal of Science, edited by Professor BRANDE, and published at the Royal Institution, Albemarle Street. The first on an improved . method of constructing the Dead Escapement. The second on the theory of this Escapement, and its employment in Clocks with pendulums beating seconds, or longer intervals.

Book 15 ~ 36 pages Lancaster's Part In The
World's Watch making Industry (1945) The importance of timekeeping to all of us, and the fact that our city, for nearly three quarters of a century, has been an important center of the American watch making industry, together make the subject of this paper deserving of the attention of the Lancaster County Historical Society; and my appreciation is due you, my fellow members of the Society, for giving me the congenial task of preparing the story and telling it at this meeting.

Book 16 ~ 53 pages Abbott's American Watchmaker And Jeweler It is the first and only book, of which the author has any knowledge, which illustrates and describes modern American tools for the watchmaker and jeweler. The ambitious workman is always i n search of knowledge, in search of new ideas, new tools and new method s. Patient study, constant practice and ambition are requisite to become proficient in any art. The demand for skilled workmen is constantly increasing, and a person wishing to thoroughly master any art, must be to a certain extent capable of self instruction. To be proficient in any art a man must not be deft of touch alone, but the head must also play its part.

Book 17 ~ 106 pages Service And Repair Of The Hamilton Electric Watch

Book 18 ~ 30 pages Watches At Wholeprices In this little book you will find particulars about a number of our best selling Watches. The cuts are made from photos of the Watches themselves and are exactly two-thirds the actual size.

Book 19 ~ 75 pages Collection Of Watches Loaned To The Metropolitan Museum Of Art Of The City Of New York The necessity of having some mechanism for marking the passing of the hours has brought into existence an infinite variety of time-keepers, and this variety has made the collecting of clocks and watches one of the most interesting fields for the collector. Since men must collect, how fortunate are they when the objects of their search show the change and development of an artistic handicraft through a course of centuries.
