Moon Mechanisms: A Restorer's Guide, New! Free Shipping!

Description: Moon Mechanisms : A Restorer's Guide In this book are detailed explanations and diagrams of the moon mechanisms found on brass and painted dials, of the type that make up the vast majority of longcase clocks in private homes. By the time that longcase clocks were fitted with moon dials the design of the basic clock mechanism had been standardized, from 1680 to 18860 the layout of the main gears remained virtually unaltered. But for those with a moon dial, almost every clock has a different mechanism to drive the moon dial around. Over the years some of those mechanisms malfunctioned, and Victorian repairers appear to have decided that they were not worth repairing and that the cheapest solution was to take them out and throw them away! But over the years the wheel has turned,and now informed owners want clocks returned to their original state. Peter Grimwood is a graduate engineer who has been restoring longcase clocks for over 30 years. Because of his interest in the Moon and Planets he specialised in the replacement of missing moon mechanisms.
