Clocks & Watches







Eric Bruton, Clocks & Watches (Paul Hamlyn, 1968). Some interesting words and phrases in the index: souscription, verge escapement, Oignon, Lancet clock, Shortt, 'Kew A' Certificate, Huygen's rope drive, Sidereal time, etc. Good section on magic lanterns and sun and moon dials.
