Project Gutenberg 2020-02-24 Public domain in the USA. 312 Goodrich, Ward L. 09012896 The Modern Clock A Study of Time Keeping Mechanism; Its Construction, Regulation and Repair E-text prepared by deaurider, Paul Marshall, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team (http://www.pgdp.net) from page images generously made available by Internet Archive (https://archive.org) "The Modern Clock" by Ward L. Goodrich is a specialized study of timekeeping mechanisms, written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the construction, regulation, and repair of clocks, addressing the diminishing skills of clockmakers in an era increasingly dominated by mass-produced timepieces like watches. The book is likely aimed at apprentices and professionals in the clockmaking trade, providing intricate details on pendulums, escapements, and the overall mechanics behind accurate timekeeping. The opening of the text establishes the pressing need for better training and skills among clockmakers, lamenting the decline in quality craftsmanship as many opt for watchmaking instead. Goodrich identifies the critical role of pendulum clocks in ensuring precise time measurement, especially in social and commercial contexts. He notes that the existing literature on clockmaking is fragmented, which has spurred him to compile this comprehensive resource aimed at demystifying the complexities of clocks for both current practitioners and future apprentices entering the field. The author hopes this work will help revive a deeper understanding and appreciation for the art and science of clockmaking. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
