Download or read book Book 10 Electric Clocks written by Steven Conover and published by . This book was released on 2021-02 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers repair procedures for a selection of electric clocks spanning the last 100 years. The book is illustrated with 228 photos and drawings. Included are repair instructions for Telechron powered synchronous electric clocks, Seth Thomas electric striking and chiming clocks, other AC-powered electrics, and representative examples of ingeniously designed electromechanical clocks.Our story begins in the second decade of the 20th century, when Henry Warren invented synchronous clock motors that would run on alternating current (AC). These motors gradually gained acceptance and eventually dominated the domestic clock market.During the 1920's, battery powered electromechanical clocks were developed to compete with the emerging AC electric clocks. Electromechanical clocks freed their owners from weekly winding chores, and some were more accurate than the traditional spring driven household clocks. Inevitably, the electromechanical clocks became obsolete, as synchronous electric clocks gained wide acceptance.Through the 1930's and '40's, synchronous electric clocks continued to account for a large share of the domestic clock market. These clocks ranged from simple alarms and shelf timepieces, to chime clocks, and even floor clocks. It wasn't until the 1960's that traditional spring and weight driven clocks regained popularity, ending the reign of AC electric clocks. They remain collector's items that are worth maintaining and repairing.

Download or read book British Domestic Synchronous Clocks 1930 1980 written by Leslie Philip Pook and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-01-20 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book complements available one-make books on domestic synchronous clocks. It is also a history of science book that sets British domestic synchronous clocks, their manufacturers and technology in their social context. Part I covers the historical background, British domestic synchronous clock manufacturers and brands, how synchronous clocks work, domestic synchronous clock cases, practical advice on the servicing of domestic synchronous clocks and analysis of the marketing and reliability of British domestic synchronous clocks. This analysis provides an explanation of the rise and eventual fall of their technology. Part II contains galleries of a selection of British domestic synchronous clocks and of the movements with which they are fitted. There is a front and back view of each clock, together with a brief description. Views of each movement include views with the movement partly dismantled, together with a brief technical description of the movement. This profusely illustrated book is primarily for fellow enthusiasts and is based on an extensive archive of information on domestic synchronous clocks, their movements and their manufacturers. Current electrical regulations mean that professional clockmakers are reluctant to repair synchronous clocks. In fact, provided that they have not been mistreated, synchronous clocks are usually reliable, and quite easy to maintain.
