Sometimes we are not too thankful of the election results. Running for any kind of office is hard. We may not be happy with who got in office but we should be thankful that someone is willing to take it on.
The A WCI will not be holding our election for directors until next spring; but now is the time we must begin looking for those willing to serve. Serving on the Board is a privilege. Yes, there can be quite a bit of work involved with it. Who among you are willing to step up to the plate and offer your services to improve the A WCI and to help your fellow members?
I may not always agree with my fellow Board members, but I am thankful that they are willing to serve. This is my last year on the Board. After the annual meeting I will be required to stay off the Board for at least two years. This will potentially allow someone new to get elected. I plan to continue to help on committees. Leaving the Board does not mean leaving the organization.
I am thankful for the many volunteers who serve on the committees, for our great staff and for the privilege I have had to be a part of this organization.
Please join with me in our endeavors-renew your membership, volunteer to run for the Board, serve on a committee, write an article for this magazine, help to encourage others to join our profession and our organization. Together we can make a difference.
Happy Thanksgiving to all. Executive Director's Message James E. Lubic, CMW
The A WCI ELM-Charitable Trust needs your support. Again this year when you receive your dues renewal you will see that you are being asked for a $25.00 donation to the ELM Trust. When the ELM Trust receives a donation, not only does the Trust benefit, but so does A WCI.
Educating the public about watches, clocks, watchmakers, and clockmakers is the main mission of the ELM-Trust. This educating of the public also benefits you as a member of A WCI. Through the efforts of the ELM Trust the public learns more about how unique you are as a watchmaker or clockmaker. They learn about the need for qualified watchmakers and clockmakers. They also learn that our trade is not the proverbial "dying trade" or "lost art", but that it is alive and prospering, and that there is a real need for more people to get the proper education/ training in order to enter our profession and become successful. The ELM Trust thanks you for your past and future support.
It has also been brought to my attention that accessing the ETA website for technical documentation has recently changed. The new directions to accessing this information are: Open your web browser and type in www.eta.ch Once you are at the home page click on "Customer Service". This appears on the left-hand side of the page, and is the third choice from the top. Another menu will appear. The first choice is "Customer Service Portal", click on that link. At this time if you have a "pop-up window" blocker you will have to click on this notification to temporarily allow pop-ups for this website. Then another window will open. Expand this window by clicking on the box in the upper right hand corner so you can see this window full screen. Then click on "Technical Documents" which is the forth choice across the top of the page. You will then be taken to a page that offers you two options. Both options are self explanatory. If you know what caliber you are looking for, you will just enter that caliber number in the box in option 2 and click "Search". Then you will see two sets of information, the first or top one is the "Technical Communication" and the traditional document will be listed under this heading, usually in three languages one of them being English. Under this section there will be one of two other possible choices, "Operating Instructions" or "Manufacturing Infor mation". If the caliber you have chosen is a chronograph, or movement with some sort of complication or additional function as found in quartz watches, you can get the proper operating instruction here. The other choice, "Manufacturing Information" details critical measurements of the movement that are used when you are designing a case to fit this particular movement.
I hope this is helpful. If you have any difficulties please feel free to call toll free 1-866-FOR-AWCI (866-367-2924)

November 2005 · Horological Times 11 Repairing Cuckoo Clock Music Movements
John B. Shadle, CMC
A lot of us fix cuckoo clocks, and since some worn egg-shaped, and because the pivots are cuckoo clocks play music, we fix music short, they're also undercut. I've attempted movements, too. to re-bush these pivot holes, without success. Usually, the worn part of a music movement is the little governor that controls the speed, Instead of bushing pivot holes, my method shown in Figure 1. Until a few years ago, involves broaching the worn holes round replacing the governor was easy, since and repivoting the arbors with new, oversize material houses carried exact replacements. pivots. I've not found a way to repair the But these days, the selection of fan arbor pivots, but it's usually not replacements is more limited, and we have necessary. to make do with "one size fits all" replacements. Unfortunately, "one size fits Here's how to do it. First remove the two all" means "fits few", so you wind up little gear arbors. Do this by bending back spending a lot of time modifying and fitting. the tabs that have the pivot holes in them. It's best to bend the tabs up from So instead replacing the governor, why not the base, as shown in Figure 2. Use care, fix it? I believe that repairing instead of bending the tabs just enough to permit replacing can be time- and cost-effective, and removal of the little arbors. The result you'll wind up with a governor that is appears in Figure 3. actually better than the original. While you still may want to replace some governors, Second, bend the tabs back to their original my method will give you an option you positions, without mounting the arbors didn't have before. between them.

of the holes, as shown in Figure 4. They should be aligned as they were before bending, and the space between them should be right for the arbors. Don't worry about being exact at this point-you can make final adjustments later.
Next, use a cutting broach to ream out the pivot holes. Broach to remove eccentricity and undercutting. Broach through both holes to align the holes, as shown in Figure 5.
Now, we'll repivot the arbors. We'll use pivot material that has a larger diameter than the original pivot Figure 4 diameter, is much harder, and will make a better pivot than the originals. I use needles, which are hard, cheap, highly polished and come with a convenient taper.
First, repivot the short arbor, which consists of a wheel and pinion combination. You can chuck it by grasping the pinion in a WW collet, or mount it on a piece of tubing held in a lathe chuck, as shown in Figure 6.

16 Horological Times · November 2005 Why Did They Use Plastic Crystals? By 1920, with the war over, glass crystals from France The Germanow-Simon Company (G-S), a major sup again became available and at a lower price than those plier of plastic crystals, encouraged watchmakers to made from celluloid. The celluloid crystal business im stock their plastic crystals and fit them while the cus mediately declined and Joe stopped buying them. Harry tomer waited. G-S provided crystal cabinets, crystal and Julius had to do something or they were going out fitting tools, and of course the crystals themselves, all of business. They decided to market their crystals on time payments so that every watchmaker could have directly to the watchmaking trade. They ordered enve the proper watch crystal in stock for almost every watch lopes, printed with their new G-S trademark, gauges to brought to the shop. Because plastic crystals were easier measure bezels, and wooden cabinets. Each cabinet was to fit than glass, G-S advocated the replacement of any fitted with a foot press and two gross of the new G-S cracked or scratched crystals on watches brought to Flexo crystals. Because they were not watchmakers the watchmaker for service or adjustment, as a source themselves, they knew they had to learn a lot before of additional profit. Here, briefly, is how it began. they could convince their potential customers to in stall G-S crystals instead of glass. They visited many Harry German ow and Julius Simon started G-S in 1916 watch repair shops in the Rochester area to learn as in Rochester, NY, not as a crystal company, but as a much as possible about the crystal fitting business and manufacturer of small tools. During WWI they learned they learned a lot about watchmakers at the same time. from Harry's brother-in-law, Joe Gottlieb, that glass watch crystals, mostly imported from France, were in Watchmakers of that era resisted using celluloid crys very short supply. Joe suggested that they design some tals for several valid reasons. They were higher in cost tools to cut round crystals from transparent celluloid per piece, not as optically clear as glass, and did not sheets and design a simple press for inserting these crys break as frequently as glass. Watchmakers saw these as tals. If the two partners could produce celluloid crys a threat to a profit center in their businesses. If they tals, Joe assured them he would buy all they could make. charged the same retail price for celluloid crystals as Joe advanced them $200 to get the project started. Cel they did for glass, their profit would be reduced and luloid sheet was purchased, cutting tools were made to their customers might object to the not so clear cellu punch out the crystals from the sheet stock, and a foot loid crystal. Finally, why would watchmakers want to operated press was designed to insert the crystal in a sell a crystal that was unbreakable? What would hap bezel. Before long, they were making round celluloid pen to the replacement glass crystal business? Harry crystals and selling as many as they could produce to and Julius realized they had some large obstacles to Joe. overcome if they were to succeed. Undeterred, they were very persistent and went on the road in upstate New York, visiting every watchmaker they were able to see. It wasn't easy, but they were able to convince many watchmakers to at least give their G-S crystals a try. There were demonstrable advantages to fitting G-S crystals instead of glass, but watchmakers had to be shown and convinced. Celluloid crystals could be fit without grinding. They could be installed while a customer waited. They were unbreakable and could command a higher price than old-fashioned glass. A much smaller stock of G-S Flexo crystals (compared to rigid glass crystals) would cover all of the watchmaker's needs. Smaller and therefore less costly crystal assortments, in addition to lower labor costs for fitting, were very strong points in favor of using G-S crystals. Harry and Julius went one step further to convince watchmakers to buy G-S Flexo (shown in the photo) crystals (a name they trademarked as they dropped the use of the word celluloid). They offered the crystals on time payments and with a money back guarantee. Money back and time payments coupled with excellent sales skills created the G-S crystal business. ] ack Kurdzionak 0 GS Crystal Package circa 1950

Naturally this test can also be used before the bushing process to help determine if a bushing is necessary.

Please see Figure 1. 0 When inserting a pivot into the test hole on the plate, I like to see the wheel be able to fall to an angle of about three degrees, knowing the hole will be compressed somewhat when the bushing is installed. Of course, it is retested after installation. The length of the bushing should be such that the pivot extends beyond the open ing in the hole at least a bit so that "tunneling" cannot occur. The second test is to determine for proper depthing. CLOCKS This can be done several ways: The first is to start at • the top of the train (i.e. the escape wheel or fly). Freeze m a a Z I n e the escape wheel or fly in position, and with a probe, try to rotate the next wheel down the train. The pinion and the wheel next should have some rotational free dom and not be tightly meshed. By observing those wheels, which clearly did not need bushing, one can get a feel for the amount of rotational freedom needed by those which are bushed. Another method is to use a pair of dividers to measure the distance between cen ters if one of the plates holding the two wheels in ques tion has not been bushed for those wheels. That dis tance can then be measured on the plate that has been bushed. Please see Figure 2. The accuracy of this basic and inexpensive tool used properly should not be un derestimated. Of course a depthing tool can also be used, but this will serve the same purpose in this instance. GET YOUR FREE SAMPLE The second possibility is that a worn pivot hole has been missed.

This is nothing like the few small prompted me to use a slightly different stakes used to hold American wheels. An method to accomplish the repair. The item other option is to remove the collet wheel was an English warning wheel with one area assembly from the arbor. They are soldered of tooth damage. I decided I would use an on and if removed a new collet needs to be insert to repair the area. Normally the wheel fitted to the arbor and the wheel seat turned is removed from the collet to do the insert in. After reviewing the options I chose to work thus offering the center hole as the do the work without removing the wheel concentric feature to work off. Due to the from the arbor assembly. heavy staking the English sometimes used, it is often very difficult to remove a wheel To accomplish this a special fixture would be made to hold the wheel concentric dur ing wheel cutting.

There is usually more than one good way to accom plish a task and this process kept the original wheel, hub and arbor intact. Hopefully this article will jog some new trains of thought. 0

However, do not adjust its height until the other point is located in the hole that is not to be modified, and then set it so that the instrument lies parallel to the plate.
Measuring Centers for Worn Holes Accurate location of a worn hole center requires a shal lower taper than the 600 included angle of the fixed point shown above, (similar to the 80 'finder' used in the bushing tool system shown in Horological Times, Aug. to Nov. '05). If there is no undamaged pivot hole for a gear that meshes with the one with a worn pivot hole, the more inaccurate location will have to be ac cepted, but if only one hole in a train of gears is un damaged, the task can be carried out with that one as a starting point for placing bushes in the worn holes. It is unusual for every hole in a train to be in bad condi tion. The clock would normally stop before that situa tion was reached.
The bushing system demonstrated in HT is fine for clocks where all the original wheels and pinions are present, the original hole is re-instated and the train should function perfectly afterwards.
