Description: Clock lovers will find everything they need to know in this book to diagnose and correct faults in any kind of clock, both antique and modern, and carry out their own expert repairs without any confusing jargon. Illustrated with 300 line drawings, the first chapter in this detailed book provides an overall coverage of clock repairs. The author continues with the basics of locating clock faults, taking the reader step-by-step through the cleaning of clock movements, disassembly and dissection of each clock part, to chimes, re-assembly and even clock lubrication and friction.
Penman reserves a chapter for tools and equipment particular to clock repair, and emphasises that it is not necessary to invest in a workshop laden with expensive tools. According to the author, effective clock repair can be undertaken at the kitchen table with simple household tools. A must read for anyone-from beginner to advanced-with an interest in what is probably the oldest and most loved household machine.
