The so-called mysteries inside a snatch or clock case are explained in simple language, and the reader is led step-by-step through the basic principles of timekeeping. The workings of each Type of movement are described in detail. Possible faults arising from them are discussed and the methods of correction are dealt with. The movements are disassembled, cleaned, inspected. and reassembled. The chapters are well illustrated with easily understood theoretical and practical drawings. An appendix covers the subject of postal dealings with suppliers and repairers.
