This vintage book contains a detailed guide to general clock maintenance. It was designed to furnish practical information and comprehensive instructions to those wishing to clean, repair and make all kinds of clocks.

Contents include: "Introduction", "Cleaning a Skeleton Clock", "Repairing a Skeleton Clock", "Special Tools and Processes", "Other Pendulum Timepieces", "Pendulums", "Portable Clocks", "English Striking Clocks", "French and American Striking Clocks", "Quarter Striking and Chiming Clocks", "Turret Clocks", "Making Clocks", "Altering Clocks", and "Electric Clocks".
