by Ward L. Goodrich (Author)
This vintage book contains a detailed treatise on the watchmaker's lathe, with information on its origins, development, construction, and uses. Written in simple, plain language and profusely illustrated, this volume is ideal for students and apprentices, and it would make for a fantastic addition to collections of vintage watchmaking literature. Contents include: A Brief History of the Lathe, The Construction of the Watchmaker's Lathe, The Construction and Use of the Split Chuck, Cement Chucks and Cementing Work in Position, Chucks for Special Purposes, Hand Rests and Slide Rests, Various Forms of Tailstocks and Their Uses, etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive.
