Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Watch Adjuster's Manual: A Practical Guide for the Watch and Chronometer Adjuster in Making, Springing, Timing and Adjusting, for Isochronism, Positions and Temperatures In issuing this Third Edition of The Watch Adjuster's Manual, it is opportune to state for the information and assurance of the reader, that since the work was first published only two slight errors were brought to the notice of the author, and these were of such a trivial nature that they scarcely called for correction. This fact shows the extreme care and thoroughness with which the work was originally prepared, and is also proof of its accuracy and reliability of statement. It is also opportune here to make general acknowledgment of the letters received by the author from all parts of the world, giving assurance that the work was in truth what it was intended to be, the practical workman's standard authority. Unlike most technical treatises, the progress of time has added greatly to the value of this work. Railroad watch inspection, which has now become almost universal, has made the very finest workmanship imperative, and such workmanship implies a thorough knowledge of the methods described in this book. And in this connection it may be added that the workman who is qualified for railroad watch inspection has the best recommendation for the patronage of the community.

Download or read book The Watch Repairer s Manual written by Henry B. Fried and published by . This book was released on 2021-12-27 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Watch Repairer's Manual: Second Edition Henry B. Fried was "widely acknowledged as the dean of American watchmakers." In the revised, second edition, Fried addresses topics important to contemporary watch repairers, such as self-winding watches, waterproofing, calendar watches, alarm wristwatches, and chronographs. The Watch Repairer's Manual also includes a fine visual dictionary of exploded views in isometric, which are very helpful for ordering watch parts. One of the few modern books available on the techniques of watch repair and certainly the most esteemed, The Watch Repairer's Manual is outstanding for its sequence of presentation and its many useful illustrations, including enlarged details of alarm and self-winding watches. The consummate craftsman and master of details, Fried himself created the illustrations. From teaching others, Fried has learned that if you have a good understanding of how and why the mechanisms work, you will become better at fixing any problems you face-often without needing to consult a book. The Watch Repairer's Manual provides: - Helpful background material, such as full descriptions of the main divisions of the modern watch mechanisms, including the purpose and function of each unit. - Complete directions for cleaning and overhauling a watch movement for casing. - A section devoted to general repairs and troubleshooting. For anyone interested in watch repair, this volume will serve as a working manual, a reference manual, and even a course of study. Assuming little previous knowledge on the part of the reader, Fried provides complete and clear detail on each operation. The Watch Repairer's Manual should be of great value to the student, hobbyist, watch collector, and instrument maker. Henry B. Fried wrote and illustrated 14 books, many pamphlets, and hundreds of articles on horology, the science of timepieces. The first American to receive the Silver Medal of the British Horological Institute, he served as president of the New York City Horological Society and the New York State Watchmakers Association and vice president of the old Horological Institute of America. He taught and lectured on horology and served as an industry consultant. He also was a consultant for the Random House Dictionary and the Merriam-Webster Dictionary.

This work is quite rare in the original and expensive even in the later reprint. We reprint the original edition of 1954. Chapters on Hairspring Practices, Jeweling, Repairing Pins, Dial Repairs, Repairing Hollow Center Pinions and much more. Later reprint has slightly different title page but same content. Mr. Fried wrote 14 books, many pamphlets and hundreds of articles on horology, the science of timepieces. He taught and lectured on horology, was an industry consultant and illustrated his own books. He was a consultant for Random House Dictionary and the Merriam Webster Dictionary. He was president of the New York City Horological Society and the New York State Watchmakers Association. He was also vice president of the old Horological Institute of America and was the first American to receive the Silver Medal of the British Horological Institute. For decades, he was the watchmaker whom others consulted on the really challenging cases, a fact he attributed in part to his "tweezer skills." While he received just about every honor imaginable in his field, the one he got last fall meant more than most: A clock tower at the new world headquarters of the American Watchmakers-Clockmakers Institute near Cincinnati was dedicated in his honor.
