This small book is a collection of technical articles from the pages of Model Engineer magazine more than 75 years ago. You get "a practical handbook giving complete instructions for the making of successful electrical timepieces, synchronized clock systems, and chiming mechanism."
"Electric Clocks and Chimes" has details on the various kinds of electric clocks, simple self-contained electric clock, a pendulum clock, a 3/4-second electric clock made from inexpensive materials, converting a grandfather clock to impulse drive, the synchronome system, a new design for an electrical drive clock, and a master chiming gear for half-minute electric time circuits.
It has lots of drawings and many photographs of projects being tried back about 1920 when electricity was becoming the high-tech craze.
Price: $7.75
