President's Message Jack Kurdzionak, CW Bob Dylan's words "The times, they are a changin' ." from his 1960s song still rings true today, including those of us for whom time has frequently stood still. In next month's Horological Times we are going to present a new approach to our annual election of officers. In the past we have printed the photographs and names of the candidates for the Board of Directors along with a few remarks about our election procedure. This year we are going to allot a half page of space for each candidate to campaign for one of the three positions available on the Board of Directors. Each candidate will be able to submit one or more photos along with a campaign statement. This will be in addition to the usual ballot mailed to each voting member a few weeks later. It is the hope of the nominating committee, chaired by Dennis Warner, that this will give our membership a better opportunity to know each candidate than was possible with the old format of a ballot with a picture and the candidate's answer to a single question. Your officers and directors urge every voting member to read and evaluate each of the candidate's statements and then VOTE. In the past, about 30% of eligible voters participated in our annual election. That means less than a third of the members decide who is elected to AWl's Board. Why not make it a majority by having every member vote? It only takes a few minutes and a postage stamp to have a very important voice in YOUR Institute. This is YOUR opportunity to have a strong voice in the running of AWI. Please take the opportunity to exercise your right to vote and truly demonstrate to the Board that "The times, they are a changin' ." Executive Director's Message James E. Lubic, CMW I recently received technical documentation specific to Omega quartz and mechanical movements that I would invite you to request from our Technical Services Department Assistant, Mary Huff. Mary can be reached toll free at 866-367-2924, extension 305, ore-mail at mhuff@awi net.org, or from our website www.awi-net.org. The title of the information you are requesting is Omega Technical Characteristics -Quartz and Mechanical Movements- 2002. In case you aren't familiar with our technical services, there is no charge for these types of requests when sent through the mail. This technical information has all the factory specifications for 28 of the present Omega mechanical calibers, and 29 of the older mechani cal models. Specifications include information such as beats per hour, lift angle, power reserve, and various timing specifi cations. For the Omega quartz calibers there are 66 listed calibers. The information given includes battery number and voltage, circuit gate time, coil resistance, current consumption, lower working voltage, and timing information. Another service that AWl offers its members for free is the Referral Directory. This directory is on our website and is also used by office personnel to help the public find AWI members in their area in need of a watch or clock repair person. You have to request to be listed in this directory in order to be included. Even if you don't have e-mail or internet access you should still request to be listed. In order to be included you must contact our Membership Coordinator, Sharon McManus. Sharon can also be contacted toll free at 866-367-2924, extension 302, or by e-mail at [email protected]. Once you have requested to be listed, then you can go to our website and activate the listing through a few simple steps. You can even include a short explanation of your specialties, qualifications, etc. Don't be shy, this is a member benefit for all AWl members. For those of you that have already requested to be included in the directory and haven't been able to find your name in the directory, please be patient.
