Book excerpt: Excerpt from Treatise on Clock and Watch Making, Theoretical and Practical My not having complied with the wish of the late la mented Professor Robison of this city, may perhaps be received as an apology for the absence of those theoretical and philosophical discussions which might otherwise have formed a prominent feature in the Work now submitted to the public. That learned gentleman, so early as 1793, had projected a work on the theory and practice of Horology, * a subject which he had studied with particular attention; and, in a letter addressed to me, re quested my assistance and participation in the composi tion and publication of the proposed work. The active duties of an extensive business forbade my acceptance of so very flattering and apparently profitable proposi tion: I have, however, endeavoured, to the best of my abilities, to supply the want of such a publication, unac companied indeed with those spirited and scientific views of Mechanical Philosophy, which it would have derived from the aid of Professor Robison, yet, I flatter myself, not the less calculated for the practical Clock and Watch maker, nor for the student and amateur in those branches of minute mechanism, - the wonderful results of which are every day unfolding themselves to the world. Ihave intrusted the publication and future revision of this Work to my friend and late partner, Mr. William 0auld, a gentleman who is practically acquainted with the Art; and I have no doubt the subsequent editions, should the publication ever require that circulation, will be found to keep pace with the march of general im provement.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1826 edition. Excerpt: ...of the light semi-cylindrical pallet A, and here the time of rest commences; on its return, the face of the pallet presenting itself, gets, in its turn, new impulse, which is communicated to the balance, and so on. C D, No. 2. is a view of the bottom of the crown-wheel. In Kendal's 'scapement, at K, No. 3. a few of the teeth of the two crown-wheels W W, are represented; a tooth of the wheel, on the right hand side, is seen just escaping from the face of the pallet pp, after having given impulse to it, and a tooth of the wheel on the left hand falls that instant on the semi-cylindrical pari, and rests there until the return, when the face presenting itself, it, on that side, gets impulse in its turn, and so on. The free or detached 'scapement is that in which the greater part of the vibrations of the balance is free and independent of the wheels, the balance-wheel being then locked; when unlocked, it gives impulse, which only takes place at every second vibration. In Mudge's detached 'scapement, the impulse is given at every vibration. The progress which has of late years been made in improving the detached 'scapement has been wonderful, when we consider, that half a century ago, the name of this 'scapement was unknown. The first rude draught of any thing like it, appears to be that of Thiout's, described at page 110 of the first volume of his Work, and shown in Plate XLIII. Fig. 30. which he calls, "a 'scapement of a watch, the half of whose vibrations appear to be independent of the wheel work during the time they are made." "The hook B, or detent, as it would now be called, detains the 'scapement wheel for a short while; sec Plate X. No. 54. the balance, in returning, carries with it the pallet A, and consequently...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Rudimentary Treatise on Clocks and Watches and Bells Before considering the construction of horological machines it is desirable to understand what it is they have to measure. It is easy to reply, days and their subdivisions. But there are various kinds of days, all meaning one rotation of the earth, with reference to the stars, or the equinoctial point r, or the sun, or an imaginary sun going with the average speed of the real sun in its apparent annual motion round the earth.
