Repairing French Pendulum Clocks

Repairing French Pendulum Clocks

Repairing French Pendulum Clocks is devoted to the clocks with bold enamel dials, delicate hands, and ornate brass or marble cases. French clocks are unique! Here is the book that takes you through five complete restorations in detail. You'll find a timepiece, a count wheel strike with visible escapement, a rack & snail strike, and two picture frame clocks, one with a rectangular movement and the other with a Morbier mechanism. The book takes the relative beginner through the necessary steps to get started in repairing French clocks. There is lots of information here for the more experienced repairer, too. The book is an easy-to-read volume, 8-1/2 x 11 in size, protected by clear plastic covers. It is spiral bound to allow the pages to open flat on your bench. In addition to views of five detailed restorations, you have a section on the silk thread suspension, a question and answer page for French clocks, and a glossary of French clock terms! You also have an introduction, table of contents, and an index. There are 92 pages packed with 302 photos plus several of the author's large drawings.
