Electric Clocks & Chimes

articles from Model Engineer
reprinted by Lindsay Publications

Check out this small book of technical articles collected from the pages of Model Engineer magazine more than 75 years ago. You get "a practical handbook giving complete instructions for the making of successful electrical timepieces, synchronized clock systems, and chiming mechanism."

This is part of a series that includes a few titles that we have reprinted: Simple Science Experiments, Simple Working Electrical Models, the Wimshurst Machine, Windmotors and others.

Here you'll get details on the various kinds of electric clocks, simple self-contained electric clock, a pendulum clock, a 3/4-second electric clock made from inexpensive materials, converting a grandfather clock to impulse drive, the synchronome system, a new design for an electrical drive clock, and a master chiming gear for half-minute electric time circuits.

You get lots of drawings and many photographs of projects being tried back about 1920 when electricity was becoming the high-tech craze. Great stuff for clock buffs like you. Interesting insights and ideas. Get a copy! 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 softcover 159 pages
