Watchmaker's and Jeweler's Practical Hand Book: A Reliable Compendium of Valuable Receipts and Suggestions, Carefully Selected From Private Formulae, and the Best Authorities (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Watchmaker's and Jeweler's Practical Hand Book: A Reliable Compendium of Valuable Receipts and Suggestions, Carefully Selected From Private Formulae, and the Best Authorities

The plates of the Watchmakers' and Jewelers' Practical Hand Book having become so worn in the printing of former editions that it has become necessary to consign them to the "waste heap," I decided to improve the opportunity to thoroughly revise the work. Nearly every page has been entirely rewritten and I believe that the work as a whole is a great improvement over former editions. In the matter of illustrations alone a decided improvement will be observed when compared with other editions. All diagram cuts have been discarded and in their place have been substituted photo-engravings made direct from my drawings, which I have aimed to make in their proper proportions. In some instances these illustrations are somewhat smaller than I should have liked them had I the necessary space at my command.
