Download or read book Maintaining Longcase Clocks written by Nigel Barnes and published by Crowood. This book was released on 2013-08-31 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Longcase clocks were invidually hand-made during the golden age of change that took place between the late seventeenth and mid-nineteenth centuries. Longcase clocks with their seventeenth century clock-making technology were innovative and incorporated an accurate pendulum clock within an attractive piece of domestic furnishing. This invaluable book is essential reading for all those who own and collect longcase clocks as well as clock repairers, horologists and conservationists. The authors provide detailed information about how longcase clocks work and how they are made. They also cover the theory and the 'best practice' practical steps that are required in longcase clock maintenance, restoration and conservation. The book outlines the history and horological development of longcase clocks; describes how longcase clocks can be dated; considers materials, tools and equipment; examines the movement and the associated simple, and more difficult, workshop procedures; covers maintenance and effective repairs; explains the more difficult woodwork procedures. Superbly illustrated with 300 colour photographs. Nigel Barnes and Austin Jordan provide advice and guidance in the field of antique horology and regularly run weekend courses.

Download or read book Brass Dial Clocks written by Brian Loomes and published by ACC Distribution. This book was released on 1998 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important new title discusses the origins, style and development of domestic brass dial clocks made between the early seventeenth and the end of the eighteenth centuries. The book provides a detailed examination of eight day and thirty-hour clocks with hundreds of illustrated examples of longcase, bracket, lantern derivatives, hook-and-spike and hooded clocks. It examines the development and distribution of each, with a complete re-examination of prototype thirty-hour clockwork and the work of clocksmiths, with a detailed discussion on the recognition of styles of the various regions/countries. Some of these aspects are discussed here for the first time. This new title will have a wide appeal as the author assumes no prior knowledge of the subject from his reader and concerns himself exclusively with a discussion of accessible clocks, not the rare museum pieces so often featured in other horological publications. He concentrates mainly on regional types, but also includes a very small number of London clocks in order that comparisons may be made, and uses examples from all over Britain, including Scotland and Ireland, and many from America.
