CUT WHEELS & PINIONS FOR A BRASS ALARM CLOCK by JOHN WILDING Wheels to be crossed out / Pinions supplied on stubs to be cut off and fitted to arbor 1/2/3 or 4 pinions on one stub ALL PRICES PLUS POSTAGE & PACKING
This elegant wall hanging clock is of 30 hour duration and
was designed by the author as a beginner's project. The construction was
carried out on the TOYO 210 lathe including all the wheelcutting and engraving
the dial. It could of course be made on any of the small compact lathes such
as the Unimat 4. The escapement is the semi circulus or strob as used by
Richard of Wallingford in the St. Albans clock. This escapement employs a
double escape wheel, each with radial pins in its periphery and it is used in
conjunction with a foliot as the oscillator. The movement is designed for a
single hand but after many requests a minute hand was added later. Optional
alarm work is also described. The materials are all readily available from
suppliers given in the book. This is an excellent project for the first time
clockmaker The book contains 52 pages and over 160
photographs and line drawings. J Wilding
