Cut this book into 160 pieces, glue them together, and have a paper clock operated by weights that keeps perfect time and can be rewound and regulated.

This book is a lucid and authoritative catalog of man's obsession with time and timepieces. Hundreds of full-color and black-and-white illustrations compliment intricate line drawings that illuminate the inner workings of these devices.

A rudimentary treatise on clock and watch making: with a chapter on church clocks; and an account of the proceedings respecting the great Westminster Clock.
